Coollattin - Smiths Falls
The Irish LegacyIn Smiths Falls Ontario23 June \xa0 - \xa0 2 July, 2017A band of twenty one 'pilgrims' from south County Wicklow were honoured and\xa0privileged to retrace the steps of the thousands of Coollattin emigres who found a new home in the great land of Canada during the sad and troubled years of mid 19th century Ireland. A truly wonderful experience to meet up once again with those who visited Wicklow August 2016, to 'break\xa0bread' and share tales with the descendants of those who left Coollattin some 180 years ago and to join with our Canadian friends in celebrating the 150th anniversary of your great country. \xa0We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ingrid\xa0Bron and her hard working committee, in our twin town of Smiths Falls, for all of\xa0their tireless work in planning our visit.
