In the mid/late sixties a number of new Irish immigrants arrived in Winnipeg. They came from Dublin and pretty well every county of Ireland. While settling into their new lives in Canada they still felt a need to get together and celebrate their heritage and some of the social interconnection that they had with family and friends back home. Thus the Irish Association of Manitoba was formed in 1972. The founding president was Aiden O'Brien. Since then the Association has become a centre for not only those who started it but immigrants from Ireland. The founders also wanted an outlet so that they could pass their culture along to the following generations. The founding members were all committed to a place for all Irish to meet and socialise. They founded the club on the basis of non-political, non-sectarian and not-for-profit. There was a strong desire to avoid importing troubles and disharmony being experienced in Ireland at that time. The club then initiated a number of groups and activities.

Taras Shevchenko: 200th Celebration Through ArtIn 2014, as recognition and celebration of 200 years since Shevchenko's birth, MPUE engaged 5 Artists to lead an art project that would span all grade levels throughout the 12 English Ukrainian Bilingual Program (EUBP) schools in Manitoba. Students worked under the guidance of the commissioned artists to collaborate and create a child's interpretation of Taras Shevchenko's significant contributions to Ukrainian cultural identity. The children were asked to base their images on the 3 different themes: Kindergarten to Grade 2/3 - Taras Shevchenko's Birthplace Grade 3 to 5/6 - An Illustration Based on Taras Shevchenko's Writings Grade 6 to 8/9 - What Taras Shevchenko Stood ForThe artist worked with the individual schools, students and teachers and expressed the work in the fabric based medium of their choice. It is our hope that this opportunity for artistic expression by the children has reinforced their understanding of Taras Shevchenko as an important influence on Ukrainian culture.Oakbank Elementary and Bernie Wolfe Community SchoolSprin
