[size=10pt][size=10pt]CBC DOCUMENTARY - FAMINE AND SHIPWRECK, AN IRISH ODYSSEYA Film by Brian McKennaProduced by Natalie Dubois and Arnie Gelbart

World Broadcast Premiere
CBC TV? Doc Zone
Thursday March 17, 2011
9:00 PM ET/PT

Repeats: Friday March 18, 2011 at 10 pm (ET/PT) on CBC News Network

On March 17, Canadians celebrate St. Patrick?s Day with parades, whiskey and songs. But for millions of Irish-Canadians, there is a story of unspeakable sadness at the heart of Canada?s Irish experience.  It is a story seldom mentioned, even today. Some call it the Irish potato famine. Others call it the Great Starvation. And others do not shrink from calling it a great crime. The saga has a million stories and on March 17, CBC TV?s Doc Zone will let you discover Famine and Shipwreck, an Irish Odyssey, a film by Brian McKenna, a story that?s one in a million.

Famine and Shipwreck, an Irish Odyssey was shot in Ireland, Quebec, Ontario and off the coast of Prince Edward Island, in 2010.  It never would have been possible without the incredible efforts of Paddy Murphy from Ontario, who traced his genealogy back to his Irish roots in South Armagh, Ireland.

Famine and Shipwreck, an Irish Odyssey is a Galafilm production, produced in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Radio-Canada, with the financial participation of the Canadian Media Fund, the Quebec tax credit and the Federal tax credit, and developed with the financial participation of the SODEC.

THE POINT HISTORY SOCIETY HAS A NEW UPDATED WEB SITE

The Soci?t? d'histoire de Pointe-Saint-Charles (Point St. Charles History Society) has announced that they now have a completely new & updated web site, along with a brand new logo.

You can find the new site at [size=10pt][size=10pt]www.shpsc.org[/size][/size]

This improved site is the result of more than a year of work by a variety of volunteers from the Point, and elsewhere, to update information concerning the very interesting and varied history of the neighbourhood of Point St. Charles

(And our own web master Jeff Legault really helped the Soceity to develope this new site)

A major effort has also been made to translate as many pages as possible from French to English; or in some cases, from English to French - with the hope of making the site as bilingual as possible. However, it is, and will continue to be, a real work in progress.

So please do take a moment to visit the new Point history web site and of course, consider becoming a member of the society.

It would also much appreciated, if you could contribute copies of any photos, or other historical documentation, concerning The Point that you might have.

The Soci?t? d?histoire de Pointe-Saint-Charles is a non-profit organization who?s membership presently totals about 150 members. A historical committee had been started on April 26 1993, with aim of promoting the area?s history and heritage.
Five years later, the Soci?t? historique de Pointe-Saint-Charles came into existence when it was granted a provincial charter, on June 18 1998. In 2000, the Society adopted its present name, the Soci?t? d?histoire de Pointe-Saint-Charles. Since 1998, the Society is governed by an Executive Board whose members are elected by the Society?s members at the annual assembly. The Society still adheres to its original mission of promoting and protecting the local heritage.
For more than fifteen years now, several committees, made up of members, have been assisting the Society in fulfilling its mission. The Society can be justly proud of its accomplishments to date : exhibitions, publications, and community events, among others. Most recently, the Society has launched its series of Cahiers which give its members the opportunity to publish their research.

Once you review the new site please feel free to forward any suggestions or comments that you might have to the Society or post them here on our St. Columban site

Thanks.

Cemetery Project Update

More than a year ago, we applied to the Irish Government in Dublin for a financial grant to help with our cemetery restoration project. And, we are pleased to say that the Irish Embassy in Canada recently contacted us to inform us that they will likely provide us with a $ 2,000 donation under one of their programs.

We have completed all the required paperwork and believe that the Irish Embassy will be forwarding this amount, in the near future, to the St. Patrick?s Society of Montreal for our benefit.

Our descendant group plans to meet sometime in January and our initial idea is to use these funds to design and manufacture a nice weatherproof plaque dedicated to all the individuals that records indicate were buried in the cemetery - but where we have never been able to find their tombstone.

These tombstones might be missing for any number of reasons ? that were removed and placed somewhere else; these individuals may never have had the funds for a tombstone etc., etc.; 

We will certainly keep everyone up-to-date as we move to the next phase of the project.
