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.

Almonte Celtfest is celebrating 30 years. It is an annual
cultural celebration of the Almonte (Mississippi Mills), Ottawa
Valley, greater Ottawa region’s heritage through music, song, and
dance, and is located in the rural community of Almonte. It is a
three-day, by-donation event that features a schedule of
presentations and activities in Gemmill Park and the downtown area.
Celtfest endeavours to explore and celebrate a wide variety of local
culturally significant history and heritage by supporting culture
and traditions that include, but are not limited to, the Scottish
and Irish settlers, the Francophone community, and the Algonquin
(Anishnaabeg) peoples. The festival features a wide variety of
performances, workshops, street performances, children’s activities,
and concerts, and encourages impromptu sessions or ceilidhs.
Galway Film Fleadh is a week-long international film festival
taking place every July on the western edge of Europe in Galway,
Ireland. Founded in 1989 as a platform for Irish filmmakers to
exhibit their work to their peers, the central goal of the Galway
Film Fleadh remains unchanged: to be a platform for the boldest new
films, and to bring audiences & filmmakers from around the world
together, to celebrate our shared passion for film.
Since its inception, the Galway Film Fleadh and the Irish film
industry have grown in tandem with one another. In 1997, the Fleadh
hosted the inaugural edition of the Galway Film Fair, the UK and
Ireland’s first dedicated film market. Running alongside the
festival each year, the Film Fair has also expanded to include a
range of industry-led events including our annual Pitching
Competition, masterclasses, case studies, and our annual
industry-wide conference, the Fleadh Forum.
The Bicentennial of the Peter Robinson Irish Emigration to the
Peterborough region in 1825 was a landmark event in our community,
and was commemorated enthusiastically by many community groups
throughout Peterborough City, County, and the City of Kawartha Lakes
in 2025. At the heart of all this activity, Nine Ships 1825
tirelessly spent the year raising awareness of the significance of
the Bicentennial.
Developed as a lasting tribute to everything the community
accomplished to honour those 2,024 courageous Irish emigrants who
made the trip across the Atlantic in 1825, Bicentennial
Reflections, a new book produced by Nine Ships 1825, captures
not only the many events and activities of the year, but also the
deeper conversations the commemoration sparked and how the
community’s understanding of its own history changed, broadened and
matured.
The book opens with a brief history on the Peter Robinson
experiment, which recruited 2,024 people in 307 families to prove
that it was worthwhile for the British Government of the day to
fully finance an 18-month emigration from a volatile area of Ireland
to a fertile area of Upper Canada, ultimately known as the
Peterborough area.
It then delves into a summary of the events that occurred to mark
this historic occasion in both the Peterborough area in Canada and
the Ballyhoura Region in Ireland. This summary is enhanced by the
contributions of the many community partners who worked with Nine
Ships 1825 to commemorate the emigration in their communities, with
each one writing about their activities throughout the year. It is
also enhanced by a photograph section featuring 80 full-colour
photographs taken at events throughout the year, and speeches made
at many of these events.
The launch of this 120+ page, beautifully designed book will take
place at the Trent Valley Archives (567 Carnegie Avenue in
Peterborough) on Monday, July 6 from 10am to 12pm. At the launch,
you'll have the opportunity to be one of the first to purchase a
copy of the book and listen to Bicentennial Reflections Editor
Elwood Jones and Nine Ships 1825 Chair Brendan Moher talk about the
book and the lasting legacy it will leave behind for future
generations. Light refreshments will be provided!
