Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Sunday, April 2, the members of St. Stanislaus-St. Casimir's Polish Parishes Credit Union held their 50th annual meeting in the constituency of Parkdale-High Park.
Founded in 1945 by Father S. Puchniak, pastor of the St. Stanislaus parish in Toronto, the Polish Parishes Credit Union takes pride in being today the largest parish based credit union in the world, with over 37,000 members and total assets of $223 million.
This unique credit union provides a full range of financial services, including personal, mortgage and business loans, RRSPs, RRIFs, OHOSPs, and automated teller services worldwide.
The success of this progressive credit union, with branches in Toronto, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph, Oakville and Windsor, reflects the growth and prosperity of Canada.
It is creating together opportunity not only for its members and families but for Canadians generally.
