Welcome to the Irish Radio Canada Website.
We are proud to share our Internet Radio Station. In 2005 we commenced
On-Air broadcasting with CHIN 97.9FM producing and presenting The Gaelic
Hour as a weekly show. in Sept 2016 we launched this new format.
You can now enjoy a selection of music every day and we will be able to
expand on the number of hours of interviews, as time goes on.
I would like to encourage you to submit your music selection and
hopefully I can find what you like in my library.
The Archives section of the site will continue to provide access to the
Gaelic Hour shows since 2006. Twitter, Facebook page and group will
become more relevant in communicating and I hope to increase the use of
Instagram as time goes on.
If you have some suggestions, please visit the contact page and send on
your ideas.
The 11 years on air have been fun, but the effort in raising the large
sum required to buy the time has become more onerous and the online
station offers the opportunity to increase content and reduce costs.
You can listen to the station using a variety of tools. The player on
this page may be the simplest. The links below provide additional
choices of players. Also, you can use your Smart Speaker to ask Alexa or
Google for "Irish Radio Canada from TuneIn"
I hope you enjoy and continue to listen.
Austin.

Life after emigration is best attested to through the words of those who experienced its upheaval. The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick selected twenty four manuscript collections from their holdings and an additional four groups of related records which exemplify the experience of Irish immigrants and their descendants and highlight the effects of immigration. These records, largely consisting of letters and now available for online viewing, reflect the important role of the Irish diaspora in shaping the development of the province.
These collections have been digitized in entirety and selectively transcribed. Finding aids for each body of records provide access to the entire digitized collection and to corresponding transcripts. Content selected for transcription from these collections represents some of the Archives most acute documentary insight into Irish immigration. Due to the particular relevance of the transcribed material these items have also been made available through full text search and indexed by subject, and place. The transcribed content provides particularly poignant points of access, providing glimpses into themes surrounding Irish immigration and the development of immigration policies in New Brunswick. They also provide points of access to the broader collections they belong to, highlighting how the collection speaks to immigration and narrowing a users search through the sometimes voluminous content. Not only do the complete digitized collections provide important context for these transcripts, they also stand on their own as important testaments to the lives of those involved in the development of New Brunswick.

Ottawa Celtic Choir - Ellen MacIssac:
The Ottawa Celtic Choir is a non-auditioned women’s community choir in the city of Ottawa that sings songs from the seven Celtic nations, as well as from strongly Celtic-influenced areas in Canada (such as the Atlantic provinces, Quebec, and Ontario). It has acquired a reputation in the Ottawa Valley and abroad for singing in the six Celtic languages as well as English, French, and various other languages. The choir participates in various Celtic festivals and collaborates regularly with other choirs to bring a wide diversity of Celtic music to Ottawa audiences.
The group is good fun and has a strong sense of community. We encourage laughter in rehearsals, as the same muscles you use to laugh are the ones you use to sing!
The Ottawa Celtic Choir has sometimes been described as a "teaching choir"; each song has a story behind it, and our performances include information about each song we sing. We also try to mix the well known and familiar with songs that you have probably never heard of before. Among the familiar songs in our repertoire are songs like Loch Lomond, The Log Driver's Waltz, Auld Lang Syne, Wild Mountain Thyme, and others. The less well-known include: Na Kirree Fo Niaghtey, Suo Gan, Dulaman, Mo Ghile Mhear, Cariad, Shliabh Gheal gCua, Si do Mhaimeo i, and others. Each season we try new songs and bring back some old favourites. You don't need to be able to speak a Celtic language to sing with us!

Bealtaine Theatre Festival - Will Peat
The Canada Ireland Foundation (CIF) is presenting the second annual Bealtaine Theatre Festival, featuring Canadian premieres of some of Ireland’s most captivating contemporary theatre productions. The Festival runs from May 21 to June 7 at the Corleck — CIF’s brand new venue for arts, cultural and heritage programming on Toronto’s waterfront. Festival attendees will be among the first to experience this state-of-the-art performance space, officially opening in November 2026.
Bealtaine kicks off with the one-of-a-kind, one-person show, CHICKEN. This award-winning production from Sunday’s Child Theatre had a sold-out run at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and exemplifies the originality of Ireland’s independent theatre scene. Next, from Dublin’s boundary-breaking Brokentalkers comes BELLOW, a new theatre performance exploring the beauty and weight of keeping traditional Irish music alive, featuring expert accordionist Danny O’Mahony. Then comes an extraordinary adaptation of the story of Ulysses for children and adults alike. In Branar’s YOU’LL SEE, James Joyce’s epic story is reinvented for ages 8 and up.
Bealtaine (pronounced byal-tin-uh) takes inspiration from the ancient Celtic festival celebrated on May 1st, marking the arrival of summer. One of the four major Gaelic seasonal festivals that CIF honours, Bealtaine has become a time to celebrate creativity, connection and community.
