Petition: Prevention of desecration of the graves of the Irish founders and settlers of the City of Saint-Colomban
Update on the Petition
The petition is now closed for additional signatures. The Canadian Irish Migration Preservation Network is pleased to announce that we attracted a total of 435 signatures—a respectable number for this type of National Assembly petition, especially given the limited time available for signing. There was some confusion about whether individuals living outside of Quebec were eligible to sign.
