History/Achievements:
In 1955, from an initiative of the then Chairman of the Polish Canadian Congress, Toronto District, Mr. Andrzej Janicki a Committee for the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the death of Adam Mickiewicz was formed. General Emil Przedrzymirski became the chairman, and Mr. Wojciech Krajewski the secretary of the Committee.
In February of 1956, at the Committee's final meeting a sum of $2,500.00 has been left at its disposal. This was the beginning of the future A. Mickiewicz Foundation. Due to his age, General Przedrzymirski did not want to accept the position of the chairman of the new organization, and proposed the former secretary, Mr. Wojciech Krajewski.
