Minister Khera Marks Irish Heritage Month
Happy Irish Heritage Month!
This month gives us the chance to highlight the invaluable contributions of the more than 4.6 million Canadians of Irish descent, who represent 15 percent of Canada’s population.
Canada’s history would not be the same without Irish immigration, which dates back to the 17th century. Fleeing famine and hardship, the Irish newcomers helped shape the Canada we know and love today. For hundreds of years, Irish Canadians have contributed immensely to all aspects of our society, from culture and politics to business, sport, science and the arts.
