FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Irish Famine Walking Tour Returns!

To mark the Irish Season, historian and tour guide Donovan King is reviving his popular Irish Famine in Montreal Walking Tour, scheduled on Saturday, March 18 at 1 p.m.
Guests will learn about the horrors of Black ’47, the year 75,000 Irish refugees fleeing the Famine landed on Montreal’s wharves. In Calcutta-like heat, the typhus-infested victims of British colonial policies began to spread throughout the city, bringing their deadly disease with them.
The situation triggered both altruism - from religious orders and the Mayor - and threats of violence from angry citizens. Heroes like Mother McMullen and Mayor John Easton Mills worked tirelessly and against the odds to save as many lives as they could.
The tour visits key sites associated with this tragedy, such as the Lachine Canal, Griffintown, Point St. Charles and the locations of hospitals, fever sheds and mass graves.
The Irish Famine in Montreal Walking Tour also supports efforts to ensure an inclusive and well-governed Foundation to oversee the creation of a commemorative park on the Black Rock gravesite.
The walking tour starts in front of Pointe-à-Callière Museum in Old Montreal (350 Place Royale) and ends at the Black Rock on Bridge Street. Duration: 2 hours.
