“We share with the native people of this country a love for all that is our inheritance, and recognize that our future grows naturally from that inheritance ... Our native language is the greatest philosophical, cultural and practical achievement of our ancestors, and binds us together in an identity that spans continents and ages.”

Join us on a journey of discovery as we celebrate the resilience and cultural significance of the Irish language in Canada.
