Canada Day Celebration at the Embassy of Canada_June 26

Yesterday, the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce had the great pleasure of co-organizing a very special Canada Day celebration at the Embassy of Canada in Warsaw. The event took the unique form of a pancake breakfast, held in the charming and welcoming surroundings of the Embassy gardens.

Guests were warmly welcomed by Her Excellency Ambassador Catherine Godin, who emphasized the growing importance of Canada as a trusted ally and economic partner to Poland. This message was further echoed by Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, Henryka Mościcka-Dendys, who spoke about the significance of strong Polish-Canadian relations.

The event brought together members of the diplomatic corps, PCCC members, and friends of both nations in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Conversations flowed over coffee and pancakes, accompanied by live music performed by the Polish Army Orchestra, adding to the festive morning ambiance.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our generous sponsors, whose support made this dignified celebration possible:

Gold Leaf Sponsors: EY Polska and Fieldfisher
Silver Sponsors: ARPI Accounting and Siltec Sp. z o.o.
Bronze Sponsors: ICS Polska and KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
