Irish Women's Network of BC
Welcome to 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 Uachtaráin, 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. |
Membership
You are welcome to be a member of the IWN as long as you are Irish or of Irish descent and and a woman. There is no membership fee. Irish women visiting from any part of the world are welcome to attend any of our meetings or functions. In order to preserve the Network’s informality and low maintenance, a number of smaller groups have been formed. These groups meet in different areas of the Lower Mainland, enabling members to engage in activities of mutual interest.
The Irish Women’s Network (IWN) currently has over 300 members. We communicate periodically to our membership mainly by e-mail and phone.
All contact information on the membership list is kept confidential and only used for the business of the Irish Women's Network and to inform our membership about events or activities relating to or of interest to the IWN.
