Welcome to the home page of the Irish Women's Network of BC

The Irish Women’s Network of BC was founded in 1998 to provide Irish women in British Columbia with opportunities for companionship, conversation and mutual support. Our logo -a candle against a green globe- represents the scattering of Irish people around the world, and the light in the window of Aras an Uachtarain, lit by Mary Robinson and maintained by President Mary McAleese, symbolizing a welcome home for emigrants.

Membership of the network is open to all Irish women whether born in or outside Ireland. There is no membership fee and the structure is informal. Members are encouraged to take responsibility for get-togethers and events in their own areas.

Communication is usually by e-mail and phone calls, and events are publicized through The Celtic Connection and through our website.
