Paul Lalonde will tell you a tale about 3 months in Connemara, Ireland, as part of a cultural exchange called Siar agus Aniar. This pilot program seeks to create a collaboration between Nova Scotia and Ireland to help each other revive minoritized languages and foster cultural renewal. The history of the Irish and their relationship with their native language is complex and fascinating. Explore the west of Ireland with Paul through his immersion in the Irish language, the vibrant cultural scene, and the stunning natural environment.

 

 

Paul is a Parks Canada Interpreter, environmentalist, Acadian, and in love with the Irish language and culture.
