Join us for the 2026 edition of Beechwood Cemetery’s Annual Irish History Night, an evening dedicated to uncovering the intricate ties between Irish history and Canadian heritage.
We are honoured to welcome Dr. Laura Smith, who will present her acclaimed research: “Unsettled Settlers: Irish Catholics, Irish Catholicism, and British Loyalty in Upper Canada, 1819-1840.”
Dr. Smith’s work explores the complexities of loyalty, faith, and identity among Irish Catholic communities in early 19th-century Upper Canada. Her analysis sheds light on how these settlers balanced religious convictions with colonial expectations, shaping the cultural and political landscape of their new homeland.
Register today and join us in revisiting this pivotal chapter of Irish-Canadian history.
