Organizational Structure of the Polish-Canadian Community: The Federation of Polish Societies in Canada / Struktura organizacyjna Polonii Kanadyjskiej: Zjednoczenie Zrzesze´n Polskich w Kanadzie
Abstract
The Federation of Polish Societies was the first Polonian umbrella organization founded in Canada. The idea of establishing a central organization was born in the White Eagle Society in Montreal in 1931. The president of this organization, Ludwik Wiktor, carried out a series of discussions with his members and with the Society of Polish Veterans, the polish Brotherly Aid Society and the Polish Catholic League. The Federation was established at a convention held in Toronto on November 3-4, 1931. In 1944, the name of the organization was changed to the Canadian Polish Congress.
