Charlie Coffey, O.C., Executive Vice President for the RBC Financial Group generously held a luncheon for sponsors and friends of The Ireland Fund of Canada on Friday October 20th. The luncheon also gave us the opportunity to wish Charlie Coffey the very best in his retirement and to thank him for his continued support over the years.

Charlie Coffey called upon the guests that represent groups supported by The Ireland Fund of Canada: St. Patrick’s Day Parade Society, Toronto Irish Players and Ireland Park Foundation. Mr. Coffey also called upon Mark Dowds, Director, who spoke passionately about the “Building Bridges Breaking Borders”, which brought fifteen youth to experience a Canada / Ireland leadership endeavor.

Susan Storey, Chair gave a heartfelt speech on the direction of The Ireland Fund of Canada over the next year and introduced the recently appointed Executive Director, Carmel Orr.

The Ireland Fund of Canada is most grateful to Charlie Coffey, O.C., the Royal Bank Financial Group, guests and sponsors who made the event tremendous.
