March is now Irish Heritage Month in Canada
March is now Irish Heritage Month in Canada
An historic moment!! March is now Irish Heritage Month in Canada thanks to James Maloney MP for all his efforts in making this happen-
James Maloney, who represents Etobicoke-Lakeshore in the Canadian House of Commons, celebrates after his motion to designate March as Irish Heritage Month passed unanimously.
In an interview James Maloney said: “My motion just passed in the House of Commons with unanimous consent.
The month of March is now officially known as Irish Heritage Month”
Maloney’s motion, M-18, reads: “That, in the opinion of the House, the government should recognize the important contributions that Irish-Canadians have made to building Canada, and to Canadian society in general, and should mark the importance of educating and reflecting upon Irish heritage and culture for future generations by declaring the month of March as Irish Heritage Month.“
Keep an eye on our website www.celticcanada.com to learn the history in making history this month!

The impact on the club finances has been immense. With the necessity to cancel St. Patrick’s celebrations & Folklorama, our two main fundraisers, in addition to losing all rental potential & club functions the association has generated no income since March. We have seen our share of good times and bad, but Covid-19 has been a complete game changer for our finances. Therefore the IAM board is asking for your support in it’s fundraising efforts.
