(Organizers of the St. Patrick’s Parade) March 2017 Dear Friends, As the 2017 “Irish Season” winds down it also marks the end of my two year term as President of this remarkable organization. When I turned the corner to walk down Ste Catherine Street, although beaming with pride, it was very emotional to think of members of my family no longer with us. In that moment, I realized what an honor and privilege it has been to serve as President of the United Irish Societies. I have been very fortunate to have held the title of President during a year wherein Montreal and Canada are celebrating their 375th and 150th Anniversaries, respectively. Our 194th consecutive parade was led by our Grand Marshal, the Honorable Mayor Denis Coderre. Even our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose to join in the celebrations by walking in our iconic parade. Thanks to the generosity of the City of Montreal, we were able enhance our parade in celebration of its 375th anniversary. We accomplished this by constructing statues honouring the indigenous peoples and the other founding nations represented on the flag of Montreal.
