Bronze Shoes and Moccasins: First Nations and Famine Irish Forced Migration (28:57) tells the story of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation that generously contributed to Irish Famine Relief in Canada West (now Ontario) on 22 March 1847 even while they were being removed from their homes, without knowing where they would resettle. The film also explores the role of European settlers, including the mass influx of Famine Irish emigrants, in dispossessing Indigenous peoples from their land.

Last week we held a celebratory reception for the Global Irish Famine Way: The Ottawa Chapter.

The Bronze Shoes are continuing their voyage after a successful launch in St. John's, Newfoundland (more information: https://lnkd.in/efmvrMtT fore)

On 14 May, the Built Heritage Committee of Ottawa City Council held a public hearing on the proposal to place the Bronze Shoes at the common grave of 360 remains from 1847 in Macdonald Gardens Park.

A spirited showing by the Irish community, with expert testimony and a large support group (including at least thirty from the Irish Seniors), resulted in approval. The City Council voted to support the proposal on 15 May with a direction to have the memorial in place at the gravesite over the summer.

Thank you to the efforts of Irish Community leaders, City Councilors & Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and for their continuing support.
