Welcome to the Canadian Irish Migration Preservation Network
Incorporated in 2021, the mission of the Canadian Irish Migration Preservation Network (CIMPN) is to research and promote Irish Heritage in Canada and to create a dynamic network of groups and individuals with similar goals.
Our website is designed to be a repository of resources for genealogists, historians, scholars, students, organizations, and anyone interested in Irish Canadian heritage.
Our Mission
The Canadian Irish Migration Preservation Network (CIMPN) is a not-for-profit association committed to preserving, conserving, and promoting Irish heritage and culture in Canada.
Our mission is to build a collaborative network of groups and individuals, nationally and internationally, who share these goals.
Current Initiatives & Projects
Through meaningful partnerships, we aim to research and commemorate the rich history of the Irish in Canada. By doing so, we keep ancestral stories alive and celebrate the contributions of Irish migrants and their descendants to Canada’s social and cultural identity.
Irish Heritage Site Map
We are creating an interactive map of Irish heritage sites, cemeteries, and cultural organizations throughout Quebec that will explore the rich and diverse history of Irishness in Québec.
The Bronze Shoes
We are following the installation of the symbolic Bronze Shoes markers in multiple sites in Canada. The evocative Bronze Shoes mark the National Famine Way in Ireland and each key site on the Global Irish Famine Way, which traces the journeys of Famine emigrants from Ireland to destinations around the world.
Mapping & Memories
We are mapping cemeteries and family stories to help preserve the Irish Heritage Canada.
