Dear Members,

​

 

As we embrace the Christmas season and prepare to say goodbye to this remarkable year, I want to send my warmest greetings and heartfelt wishes to all our members and their families! This festive season offers an opportunity to create lasting memories with our loved ones, whether they are near or far. It is also a time to honour and celebrate the cherished memories of those who are no longer with us.

​

 

Reflecting on the past year, I am overwhelmed with the incredible milestones our Association has achieved together! Each success not only represents the collective hard work but also highlights the unwavering dedication of our outstanding Board of Directors, our devoted members, and our supportive friends.

​

 

Looking ahead to 2026, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for all the possibilities that lie before us! We, as a Board, remain committed to nurturing the legacy and future of the Irish Association of Manitoba.

​

 

I look forward to welcoming each of you to our upcoming events, which I promise will feature an incredible lineup of activities. From festive celebrations to St Patrick’s Day events, from the first-ever Little Theatre Festival to Folklorama, there are numerous opportunities to connect, engage, and thrive within the Irish community. Visit our website and follow us on social media for the latest updates on all the exciting things happening at the Irish Club.

​

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas filled with joy and laughter, and a prosperous New Year! May 2026 bring you health and happiness.

​

 

Warmest regards,

​

Joanne Small

President
