In Ontario we observe St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, we do more than remember St. Patrick; we celebrate the Irish presence in Canadian history. … The Great Famine of the 1840s drove approximately two million people out of Ireland, hundreds of thousands of them to British North America.

Thank you for the reminder. It is important to keep this history forward in our minds. VM
