Canada Day Picnic 2013

The 2013 Canada Day Picnic took place at Golf Parks Poland in Wilanów on 30th June.  Despite the chilly weather, a warm crowd of over 150 people gathered to celebrate Canada’s national day.

We were pleased to welcome Colonel Daniel Geleyn, Defence Attache, who represented the Embassy of Canada.  All guests enjoyed a barbeque, mini-golf, mini-soccer, crafts and face painting, and rousing entertainment from Klaun Kluseczka.  The afternoon was topped off with sunshine and the Canada Trivia Quiz with a special focus with questions on Canada’s arctic.

We wish to thank all our sponsors for their support in holding this year’s picnic: Air France/KLM, BlackBerry, Canadian School in Warsaw, Embassy of Canada, Hotel Intercontinental, ICS Polska, Mielżyński Wine and Spcialities, Perła Browary, PJM Shipping and Trading, Rathdowney and Vac Aero.

An additional thank you is due to Anna Kaniewska, Country Officer of Golder Associates, for assistance with the music.
