As we did last year, in recognition of St. Brigid's Day, we are inviting community members (women or men) to share something about an inspirational Irish woman you admire and respect.

It could be a short reading of something written by a woman writer; perhaps it's a story about a woman in your family; or maybe about a woman from current affairs or history.  

You will have 3 to 5 minutes to present about the woman you admire and why.  

If you wish to participate, please register your attendance via the link below and also email us so we make sure we have you registered on our list of participants.  Depending on the interest, we may not be able to have everyone present so please register and we will confirm closer to the day.

Space is limited so everyone has to register to attend:

The Irish Women's Network of BC is delighted to unveil our new logo which was created to celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2023.

The new logo is a Celtic circle representing sisterhood, friendship, support and connection. The colour is a blend of green and the blue of Ireland. Thanks to Catherine McCooey for her creativity in designing the logo.
