Happy Canada Day!

It was a pleasure to join this year’s Canada Day celebration hosted by the Embassy of Canada in cooperation with the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

In what was also her farewell Canada Day address, Ambassador Catherine Godin highlighted the strength of Canada–Poland relations and the continued growth of our partnership across trade, investment, and people-to-people ties. Her remarks were echoed by Poland’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wladyslaw T. Bartoszewski, who reaffirmed the importance of the strong bilateral relationship.

PCCC President Bernhard Otterstein thanked the Chamber’s member companies whose generous support made this event possible:
🥇 Gold Sponsor: EY Polska
🥈 Silver Sponsors: Candu Energy Inc., Galvion and Hatch
🥉 Bronze Sponsor: ARPI Accounting

The morning was further enriched by a performance from the Polish military orchestra, refreshing beverages, and delicious Canadian pancakes served with authentic maple syrup.

Most importantly, it was wonderful to see so many members of the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce together, celebrating the friendship and growing partnership between Canada and Poland.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦🇵🇱
