March 2024 Business Breakfast
7 March 2024
Canada declared March as Irish Heritage Month for the first time in 2022, and almost 12% of the people in Canada claim Irish heritage.
To mark Irish Heritage Month, the topic for our March business breakfast was “From Hashtags to Hardbacks: Irish History on Social Media and in Print”.
We were joined by Padraic Coffey as our guest speaker. Padraic is the author of ‘This Day in Irish History’ and curator of the popular social media accounts of the same name. Padraic shared with us the journey of the social media account @ThisDayIrish and its development into the book “This Day in Irish History”.
