History

Celebrating Over 40 Years of Growing with Canada

Our history as a non-profit community based organization dates back to 1973 when we emerged as Polish Immigrant Aid Services-Toronto (PIAST) to respond to the needs of the local Polish community.

In 1993, to keep up with growing service demands, PIAST merged with Polish Community Social Services (PCSS) under the name of Polish Immigrant and Community Services.

Our name was changed in 2000 to Polycultural Immigrant and Community Services to better reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of the clients we serve.

Today, Polycultural is a dynamic and diverse organization that serves communities in more than 40 languages through our six locations across Metro Toronto and Peel Region.
