An Cumann /

The Irish Association

of Nova Scotia

Welcome to the home page of An Cumann / The Irish Association of Nova Scotia.

An Cumann is a non-profit association, incorporated under the laws of Nova Scotia since 1990.  The main goal of the association is to foster throughout Nova Scotia knowledge and enjoyment of Irish and Irish-Nova Scotian culture and history.

An Cumann holds Irish Heritage Evenings in the fall, winter and spring and occasional workshops and special events throughout the year.  Most regular  activities take place in the Halifax metro area, but some special events occur elsewhere in the province. 

At our events you can experience or learn about Irish music, the Irish language (Gaeilge), Irish literature and theatre, Irish history and current events, folklore, dance, sports and genealogy, among other things.

And there's lots of great craic (fun)!
