Hi Judy: Thought you may be interested in the following: "In contrast with Poles in other Canadian provinces, the early Polish immigrants to British Columbia belonged to the working class. Adam Swiecicki settled in Vancouver as early as 1883 and was soon joined by his two brothers, Antoni and Boleslaw Swiecicki. They were followed in 1896 by E. Straube, a highly qualified locksmith and gunsmith, and by K. Kalinowski, S. Bader, A. Morawski, F. Jablonski, A. Wiszniewski and W. Wojkiewicz in 1905." Julianne (Wójcik) Davidson
