How We Do It

We receive core funding from The Government of Ireland’s Emigrant Support Program, a tangible expression of the Government’s support of, commitment to, and interest in the global Irish community. Since 2012, we have received an annual grant from one of our four founding members, The Irish Cultural Society of Toronto. This unwavering support, along with early support from fellow founding members: The Ireland Funds Canada, The Ireland Canada Chamber of Commerce Toronto (ICCCTO), and the Canadian GAA, emboldens our work.  Visit our home page to see the many project and program supporters who partner with us throughout the year.

Inaugural Chair

Eamonn O’Loghlin

Eamonn O’Loghlin was chair of I/CAN from December 2011 to December 2012. He led the committee that founded the Centre and lobbied the Irish government and Irish community organizations across Canada for start-up funding. I/CAN is a significant aspect of Eamonn’s far-reaching legacy—a legacy that will have a lasting and generative impact on the current wave of Irish immigrants to Canada.
