About
the "Polish Eagle"
The
"Polish Eagle" song and dance ensemble was formed
in 1997 by Mr. Konrad Kasparek, and shortly thereafter became
one of the first groups to begin working a the Franklin Horner
Community centre. The group is comprised of over 60 members
ranging in age from four and up. The groups' primary goal
is to teach Polish culture (language and tradition) through
song and dance. This is a non-profit organization and exists
thanks to the help and volunteer work of parents, as well
as many corporate sponsors. With their help our group can
organize dances, picnics and concerts to raise money for costumes,
instructors, music, and any out of town performances that
might come up.
We
have performed for Polish dance festivals, for Canada Day
celebrations, for members of Parliament, and various cultural
festivals around Toronto as well as performing for the people
of Poland. Our group has also participated in competition
at the "CHIN INTERNATIONAL PICNIC" and has been
rewarded both the 3rd and 2nd place positions.
The Director of the "Polish Eagle"
Song and Dance group is Mr. Konrad Kasparek who was recently
awarded the Toronto Canada Day Achievement award for 15 years
of voluntary contribution towards the multicultural community
in Toronto. |
