An Exhibition at McCord Museum of Canadian History

Celebrating over 250 years of the Irish presence in Quebec

Being Irish O'Quebec

Community participation is paramount to the success of this Exhibition on the Irish in Quebec. This is now your opportunity to reflect on your Irish heritage and its impact on your own Quebec experience; this is your opportunity to ensure that your family’s Irish-Quebec footprint is revealed.

MCCORD MUSEUM would like to hear our COMMUNITY VOICES and asks of all of you:

“What connects you to your Irish roots?” It may be a recipe, a souvenir, a picture, a song, a home movie or...? Please tell the McCord about it!

To participate:

spsmontreal@hotmail.com

McCord will advise you directly on whether it can be incorporated into the diverse exhibition displays. St. Patrick’s Society and the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, as co-sponsors of this event will also ask your permission to place your photographs/texts on their respective websites.
