Dec 6, 2014 - Christmas Carols in Kopernic Lodge. Thanks to the Choir 'Polish Tunes' and everyone who was participating. 

 

Very pleasant event in Kpernic Lodge.  Bravo to the choir 'Polish Tunes' for the concert. Residents had an opportunity not only to listen to the songs but also actively participate in singing. Words to all songs were provided to everyone and  made it easy and fun to sing together. What an impressing way to give back to the Polish Canadian Community and senior citizens.

Dec 20, 2014 - traditional Christmas 'Oplatek' for Vancouver Polish Theatre members, volnuteers and invited guests. 

 

Many gathered to sing Christmas Carols and share 'Oplatek' and amazing food with Vancouver Theatre members and volunteers. It was a great year for our theatre. Polonia enjoyed many very successful events presented by the dedicated group. Theatre organized several performances for the Childrens Hospital in Vancouver. Great year and we really appreciate all the hard work of all actors, technical support and volunteers. Some of very talented and really contributing members and guest stars were not able to attend the celebration, but their contrubutions were very much acknowledged and pictures displayed to make sure that we can be grateful for their input that shapes the Vancovuer Polish Theatre.

Dec 26, 2014 'Boxing Day'  -  for over 20  years  Polish Canadians meet in Vancouver's mountains on the second day of Christmas to sing Christmas Carols.  This year we met on Cypress Mountain. 

 

Please see the short film by Mr. Jerzy Kusmider. 

Przedstawiamy krotki film wykonany przez Jerzego Kusmidra.

 

Polacy z Vancouver juz od ponad 20 lat tradycyjnie spotykajÄ… siÄ™ w górach na Å›wiÄ…tecznym spotkaniu w drugi dzieÅ„ ÅšwiÄ…t Bożego Narodzenia. W Kanadzie dzieÅ„ ten nazywany jest "Boxing Day", to znaczy dzieÅ„ poÅ›wiÄ…tecznych wyprzedaży sklepowych. Niestety w tym roku zabrakÅ‚o Å›niegu w górach i dla odmiany piknik odbyÅ‚ siÄ™ na zielonej trawie.  Spotkania te odbywajÄ… siÄ™ w różnych miejscach, najczęściej na górze Seymour albo Cypress.  Koordynatorami tych pikników na Å›niegu jest Elżbieta i Jerzy KuÅ›mider. Każdy przywozi jedzenie do wspólnego podzielenia siÄ™: Å›wiÄ…teczne smakoÅ‚yki, ciasta i napoje wedÅ‚ug uznania.
Zamiast biegać po sklepach przyjemnie było śpiewać kolędy na świeżym powietrzu w górach.
 

Tym ktorzy przybyli na nasze tradycyjne spotkanie bardzo dziekuje za obecnosc. Ci co mogli być a nie dotarli moga tylko zalowac milo spedzonego czasu. Zapraszam do obejrzenia filmu z tego spotkania.

J. Kusmider. 

 

The over 20  years old tradition of meeting in the mountains in the Boxing Day continues, there was no snow this year, but no rain either ... next year we are counting on more participants.
