get involved at SPK
For over 75 years, SPK Branch 20 has been a central part of Toronto’s Polish-Canadian community. Our founding SPK members were veterans of the First and Second World Wars dedicated to fighting for a free and independent Poland. At the same time, they were proud Canadians and played a significant role in building the economic, social, and political fabric of Polonia and our city. Today, SPK is committed to honouring the memory of our veterans and upholding their legacy.
