The Heart & Crown will be hosting their annual Irish luncheon on March 10. This is an opportunity to invite all from the Irish community to the Heart & Crown in the ByWard market. No traditional Irish luncheon would be the same without a complete line up of Irish music, dancers, and traditional Irish food made in-house. This is a great way for you to kick off the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations plus it’s all in the name of charity. This year, they are supporting two charities one Canadian and one Irish:
The Elisabeth Bruyère Hospital in Ottawa: As Ottawa’s first hospital, the Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital, offers stroke and geriatric rehabilitation. It is also home to Canada’s largest academic palliative care unit and is Ottawa’s only palliative care hospital unit.
The Tara Centre, Omagh, Co. Tyrone: Inspired by a vision of global awareness, the Tara Centre provides a safe, nurturing environment in which:
• to heal and transcend pain and trauma;
• to bring hope to those in despair;
• to build an inclusive community of peace and reconciliation;
• to support those who seek to free themselves from the poverty trap and its negative consequences
• to educate beyond narrow, divisive, tribal loyalties.

no doubt the place we will be packed! As Ottawa’s unofficial Irish embassy, the crowds instinctively flock to The Heart & Crown on March 17 and it’s no wonder with live bands all day, every one will be decked out in green, and ready to sing their favourite Irish tune. In April The Heart & Crown is gearing up for their 25th anniversary. This happens to coincide with Canada’s 150th which is great timing! They are offering a few promotions which will be going on during this time so be sure to mark your calendars and help them celebrate!
