Canadian Polish Congress

The Canadian-Polish Congress (CPC) ( _pl. Kongres Polonii Kanadyjskiej, KPK), is an umbrella organization founded in 1944 by Polish-Canadians in Canada to coordinate the activities and to articulate the concerns of the Canadian Polish community on public policy issues.

Over 200 organizations belong to the Canadian Polish Congress including The Polish Institute of Arts & Science in Canada [http://biblioteka.info/english.htm] , Polish Combatants' Association [http://www.polish-combatants.ca] , Polish National Union of Canada [http://search.hipinfo.info/details.asp?RSN=12511&Number=67] , Polish Alliance of Canada [http://search.hipinfo.info/details.asp?RSN=10583&PrintMd=on&UseCICVwTmp=] , Polish-Canadian Women's Federation [http://www.federacjapolek.ca/fp_en.html] , the Polish Teacher's Association, Association of Polish Engineers in Canada [http://www.polisheng.ca] , Millennium Foundation, and the Scouting movement. Many other organizations are smaller in size, but no less important to the community.

The Canadian Polish Congress aims to reflect the voice of over 800,000 Canadians of Polish ancestry.
