ABOUT US
The Polish Canadian Students’ Association of Windsor (PCSAW) is a fairly new organization in the Windsor area, having been established on November 15th 2008. This diverse youth group currently consists of high school, college, and university students.
Our initiatives are city and region based, centred on emphasizing and sustaining Polish culture. We are a group of strong and willing individuals between the ages of 16 and 30 who are eager to acquire leadership skills whilst encouraging youth involvement and networking, starting in our Polish-Canadian community in Windsor, Ontario. We are an organization that also teaches the future generation on how to stay connected to their heritage and roots. Our main mandate is “Leadership, Unification and Solidarity.” It is always important to give back to the community. That is why every year, PCSAW volunteers their time and energy to various Polish events.
We are pleased to announce that our association is now formally signed with the Canadian Polish Congress, Windsor-Chatham Branch! We look forward to working towards a common goal, and we thank KPK for registering our name under their nationwide umbrella organization.
The founding members of PCSAW were actually all members of the Polish Week in Windsor Youth Group 2008 (PWW08). After a successful “dyskoteka” in the Windsor Dom Polski during the mentioned Polish Week, our team adopted a formal name. Our first official meeting was held at 2050 Willistead Cr., on the day of December 13th 2008. During this meeting, the first executive committee was elected and PCSAW’s mandate was decided: “Leadership, Unification, Solidarity.
PCSAW is a non-profit association, therefore it relies on generous contributions from sponsors and through profit from events. Polonia Centre Windsor (Inc.), the Polish Canadian Business and Professional Association of Windsor, and the Canadian Polish Congress – Windsor-Chatham Branch have been the main contributors for our group in which we are eternally grateful.
There is no fee to join, so if you are a young Polish-Canadian in the greater Windsor area and are interested in attending the next meeting, send us an email!
