The Irish in Canada

New!!

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!
