About Us

The Canadian Irish Migration Preservation Network (CIMPN) is a not-for-profit Irish historical preservation organization consisting of individuals who are connected to and knowledgeable about the history and culture of Irish migration to North America.

We feel a great responsibility to preserve, foster and inspire the study and conservation of the history of these early migrants who came to Canada as far back as the 1600’s.

Through continuing research, sharing their fascinating stories, and actively seeking to protect the Irish historic landmarks, we plan to enhance the connection between our Irish ancestors and members of the global Irish community today.

We seek to highlight the Irish migrants’ significant contributions to the development of Canadian history and culture for generations to come.

• Promote, preserve and foster Irish culture and heritage at home and abroad.
• Encourage closer links between our Irish Canadian heritage network and similar networks in Ireland and in the Irish Diaspora abroad.
• Collaborate with other Irish Groups and Societies with similar aims on various projects, research and historic documentation pertaining to early Irish migration to Canada.
• Maintain a web portal to a repository of research and genealogical information designed to inspire, teach and share knowledge of interest to the Irish diaspora in Canada and abroad.
• Foster and undertake projects whose primary aim is to further promote Irish history, arts, heritage, and cultural vitality, in Canada and abroad.
