As an organization, as well as individual members of An Cumann, we are focused on events and the development of Irish content of activities relevant to today’s social environment. We also recognize that what is happening around us today sprang from the past. Where Irish history, music and traditions that arrived from the “The Auld Sod” play a big part of who we are and how our communities appear today.
Whether members came to the region in wooden ships, steamers or modern wide-body jets, we all share the common idea: to promote the impact that Irish settlement has had on our relatively new communities. As an organization we have taken on certain responsibilities. One is to highlight within our communities the impact that the Irish had in building what we now enjoy.
