Ireland Park is a memorial space operated by the City of Toronto that is located on the shores of Lake Ontario, at Eireann Quay at the foot of Bathurst. Picco had the privilege of working on one of the Park's monuments in 2007 - a massive limestone memorial with 675 of 1100 Irish names engraved. The names are of those who did not make the journey to Canada when fleeing their blight ravaged country in 1847.
We were very proud to work on Ireland Park in conjunction with Jonathan Kearns, a Toronto based Irish-Canadian architect. The limestone was imported from Kilkenny in Ireland and holds a great deal of meaning for those who identify with the plight of these 38,000 Irish ancestors who had left their homeland in search of a new life in a new land.
Ireland Park was officially opened on June 21, 2007 in the presence of Irish president Mary McAleese, among others. McAleese states upon the unveiling that the Park was "a memorial that links Ireland and Canada in a very, very powerful way, and brings that story right into the 21st century."
