At a reception at the Polish Consulate on Lakeshore Ave. W. in Toronto, Borys Wrzesnewskyj donated $35,000 for Polish Language and Literature at the University of Toronto in memory of his father. A large group of people of Polish and Ukrainian background gathered to honour Borys and his family. Borys has worked hard and successfully to bring together the communities representing his family background.
