Thanks for the welcome Miranda :) and I guess i'm from ploand to, well been here most of my life, this is home now :(
and as for hockey, I used to play years back, but got a nasty injury on the ice and things are not the same anymore, lets just say I slammed into an open gate with my shoulder.
I didnt have the courage to try yet .... and the Canadian French seems to be little bit different ... :) well first I will polish my english and then who knows ....:)
Hey Chris, I'm in Waterloo ... you're right. There is like half a million of Poles in Canada. Majority of that figure s/b in Ontario and Quebec but we're kind of unvisible comparing to other minorities which manage to organize themselves and be "out there"..
Miranda, just wondering if there are any lounges/cafes in TO that are polish owned, where you can meet some polish peeps over tea. New to TO, yet lived here for almsot 2 years now :/ it's a long story.
I actually don't know of hand because most of them are in Mississauga, which is a bit too far for me, but I can ask around. There is a Polish area on Roncesvalles area - are you familiar with it at all? There are some restaurants and cafes there, so that migh be an option for you. I personally don't go there because .......hmmmmm.....it is a long story;)
yeah i've been to cafe polonez, good placek po wegiersku :) other than that dundas west is far away, and besides the deli shops and bakeries where i do some of my grocery shopping, roncesvalles is too far. i live downtown.
I want to help en older individual of Polish descent who wrote me: "I am looking for Mark Paul fo the Polich Education Foundation of North America in Toronto" . Can you help me, please. The Bell Canada phone book lists 37 people. In no way I can call this many people. Do you know of this particular fellow?
Living in Rexdale(Near Etobicoke) since Jan '08... Moved here from London, Ontario where we've lived since coming to Canada in '88. There's PLENTY of Polish people here, I work in the woodbine centre mall and run into us almost every other day :)
Can anyone reading this Polish Forum [Looking for Polish people living in Toronto] help to find a way to contact Mark Paul from the Polish Education Foundation in Toronto? [This is same request as above, on January 22, 09. Please help if you can.
