At the present moment, however, the rate of growth of the Polish community in Canada equals that of the Canadian population growth rate and, I think, in the future is likely to lag behind the Canadian growth rate because of a diminished immigration rate from Poland.
In 1931, 60.0% of the total Polish population in Canada was living on the Prairies and only 29.1% in Ontario, whereas in 1961 the proportion of Poles living in Ontario was 46.2% as compared to 35.2% on the Prairies.

In 1961, each person was asked the question "To what ethnic group did you or your ancestor (on the male side) belong on coming to this continent?" The language spoken at that time by the person, or his paternal ancestor, was used as an aid in determining the person's ethnic group.

It's the latest sign of a coming-of-age among immigrant groups in Canada as they reach beyond their own ethnic communities to contribute to mainstream life in major urban centres.
For example, 85 per cent of immigrants who arrived in Canada between 1961 and 1975 made charitable contributions, which is well above the national average of 78 per cent of all Canadians.
By contrast, only 69 per cent of those who settled in Canada after 1988 were donors and gave an average annual of $143.
