Polish millennium celebrations in Thunder Bay 1966 parade
The Lakehead Polish Canadian community joined Thunder Bay festivities on May 8 1966 as Fort William and Port Arthur proclaimed Poland Millennium Day. Events included a solemn mass, May 3 Cenotaph parade, English language millennium concert at Lakehead Teachers College, and a later Port Arthur concert with Polish youth groups. A monument project began in 1967 to honor Poland and Canada.
