UBC Polish Club / Polish Students' Society - ŻAK

01/20/2021

Hello Everyone!
I’m sad to say there are currently no plans or students at UBC, at this time, who have planned to take on the reigns of leading the UBC Polish Club.
As of right now, this is officially a community group.

01/20/2021

I am looking for admins to manage the UBC Polish Club page since it is no longer wise for an alum to oversee it.

It is not required for you to be Polish, but you must have an interest in the culture and community. Commitment is presently minimal. There are no recurring events led by UBC execs, so necessary duties are to oversee group posts and respond to incoming inquiries.

If you are interested in page management, please contact me with a very brief biography and why you are interested in the UBC Polish Club and running this group. BONUS if you are a current UBC student.

This group remains an important unit in the Polish community of UBC, Vancouver, and across Canada.

Dziekuje i narazie...

Hello everyone! We're looking for a fresh set of executives to help us run the UBC Polish Club for the 2015-2016 term. It's a perfect opportunity to gain experience managing various aspects of one of the most active cultural clubs at UBC. We're looking for executives who are keen on planning and participating in events (film nights, cooking events, fundraisers, intercultural fairs and parties, etc.), promoting the club on and off campus to maintain a connection between Polonia youth and Vancouver's Polonia, and working in a team environment with your fellow execs.

The environment is very casual and meetings are held on campus, usually once every 2-3 weeks for 30-60 minutes, and a bit more often when planning an event. We even have an office (which we'll try to reclaim for next year). ;)

Perks include chances to win scholarships and grants from Polish-Canadian community funds as well as a great piece of experience to put on your resume.

If interested, send an email to [email protected] by Monday, April 6, 2015 with a basic statement including your name, year, faculty, and why you're interested in becoming an executive. Also, you do NOT have to be Polish or speak Polish to join. :)

UBC Club Days 2014 is bumpin'! Check out our booth by the north entrance of the SUB today and tomorrow to sign up! We've met so many interesting people already!

4-8 PM today. Global Lounge. Pizza, popcorn, and good company. Double-feature of awesome classic Polish films. There's no excuse not to come!

THE TWO MOVIES WE'LL BE SHOWING TONIGHT ARE:

"AMATOR" and "PRZYPADEK"!

Przypadek (Blind Chance): Released in 1987, the film presents three separate storylines, told in succession, about a man running after a train and how such an ordinary incident could influence the rest of the man's life. Originally filmed in 1981, Blind Chance was suppressed by the Polish authorities for several years until its delayed release in Poland on 10 January 1987. [To those who have seen Run Lola Run / Lola rennt, Przypadek was the inspiration to RLR].

Amator (Camera Buff): Released in 1979, the film is about a humble factory worker (Jerzy Stuhr) whose newfound hobby, amateur film, becomes an obsession, and transforms his modest and formerly contented life. Camera Buff won the Polish Film Festival Golden Lion Award and the FIPRESCI Prize and Golden Prize at the 11th Moscow International Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival Otto Dibelius Film Award in 1980.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at the UBCIA Intercultural Fair last Friday! Thanks to everyone who stopped by - we hoped you learned a bit about Polish culture and tried some delicious, authentic Polish food.

Many thanks to the Consulate of Poland in Vancouver for providing our booth with beautiful books about Chopin and Marie Curie-Skłodowska, as well as several information packets about travelling to Poland - something we totally recommend you do!

For the fair, our club ordered 600 pierogi, 10 litres of ogórki (pickles), and several links of kiełbasa straight from a local Polish deli. We also served kisiel and Tymbark juices! :) Hope everyone enjoyed the food! If anyone would like more information about ordering the authentic pierogi (or any of the food for that matter), we are more than happy to pass the contact information on.
