In 1932, the Union of Polish Societies in Canada, the first Polish organization in Canada, began in Winnipeg. In 1944 this organization gave start to the Canadian Polish Congress which then moved the Head Executive office to Toronto, due to the larger number of Polish immigrants in that region.
Two Sokol halls were built in Winnipeg between 1932 and 1944; #1 in the "North End" at 713 Manitoba Avenue and this one, #2 at 523 Doucet Street.
