On October 6, 2015 Barka Canada initiated a meeting which was held at Surrey Central Library. The meeting was attended by Polish professionals who work at a variety of Social Service Agencies.

Attendees introduced themselves and their organizations. Discussions included the current immigrant situation as well as the most common issues immigrants face. Barka Canada introduced current programs and future plans and strategies. There was discussion about the potential integration of social service providers in cases of immigrants from East and Central Europe who are either not eligible for assistance or who do not have enough English language skills to benefit from already available help.
