Serving Polonia Through Diversity

As a non-profit organization serving the Polish Canadian community, it is part of our mandate to keep Polish culture and community alive in Edmonton. As such, when qualified candidates who are bilingual in Polish and English are available, we do prioritize them over candidates without the ability to speak Polish or who do not have Polish heritage. As many of our community members speak Polish as a first language, serving our community and keeping our heritage alive in our language is deeply important to our non-profit mission.

However, applicants from Polonia are not always available and we have individuals of varying backgrounds on our staff. We encourage any experienced and qualified applicants to consider applying for work at the Polish Hall.

Candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our organization are welcomed into our community. We believe that a diverse workplace is essential to our success and represents the diversity of the Alberta community we serve. Treating all people with respect and dignity is integral to our values and to true hospitality.
