Politicians, staffers, media, and their volunteer mercenaries will lace up their sneakers and don their best jerseys as they face off at the Parliamentary Basketball Tournament on May 5 in Ottawa. This annual event, now in its 12th year, is a fundraiser for Christie Lake Kids in support of their after-school sports programs for low-income children and youth.
Not only is May 2 the day that Poles celebrate their constitution and their national flag, this year marks the first-ever Polish Heritage Month in Canada. Fonseca was involved in the latter event, having sponsored motion M-75 to establish Polish Heritage Month which was unanimously adopted on Feb. 7 this year. Kusmierczyk is the current chair of the Canada-Poland Parliamentary Friendship Group.
