Ireland Canada Monument

 

The Ireland Monument Project is a non-profit undertaking.

All contributions go directly to complete The Ireland Monument-Canada.

We thank all who have contributed to date.

The Ireland Monument Committee now looks forward to securing a suitable site for The Ireland Monument-Canada within the City of Coquitlam, British Columbia.

We hope all supporting corporations, organizations, small businesses; families and individuals within Canada and Ireland will come on board to ensure that recognition of the contribution of Irish Canadians can be realized via The Ireland Monument-Canada.

The total project cost is estimated at $225,000.00 (January 2010). The committee is endeavouring to raise a portion of that amount (approximately $40,000.00) from individual, family and small corporations. It is intended to provide all contributors with a memento to recognize their contribution.

The following amounts are kindly suggested. A corresponding Momento will be provided to Donors for the following categories.

• Between $3000.00 - $10,000.00
• Between $1000.00 - $ 2999.00
• Between $500.00 -      $999.00
• Amounts above $100.00 -250.00
• Amounts up to and including $100.00.

All amounts will be cordially accepted and recognized.
