One Fifth of Canadians Have Irish Heritage!
Halifax Honours Irish Immigrants
This web site is dedicated to the study of The Irish in Canada. By this, I mean the cultural and political study of the thousands of people who left Ireland to make Canada their home, most prominently in the 1800's, and their ancestors. I have long been chagrined by the little that exists in current texts
and even cultural information about the contribution of the Irish to Canada.
It has been a rich, colourful and positive contribution and an important and significant part of our history.
In a small way, I hope this site will begin to change the ommission of Irish history. This site includes essays from The Untold Story:The Irish in Canada edited by Robert O'Driscoll and Lorna Reynolds. Other resources will soon be added. I appreciate the patience and kind words of visitors as I construct this site. Thank you!! I have also added a site where anyone interested in the Irish in Canada can post questions or share ideas.
Please select this link to go there. I really appreciate your patience as I get this work completed!
