QAHN is saddened to report the death of our dear friend and colleague Kevin O'Donnell. Kevin served as a Member of QAHN's Board of Directors from 2006 to 2008, and as President of the organization from 2008 to 2013. He was a tireless, fearless leader who never shied away from speaking his mind. He had a strong vision for this organization, and worked passionately to further our mission. He continued to be a big supporter right up until the time of his death...
We'll miss you, Kevin!

QAHN Directors Simon Jacobs (left) and Michèle Thibeau (right) visited Shannon this past weekend, where they presented the volunteer organizers of the renowned Shannon Irish Show with the coveted 2023 Richard Evans Award!
Participants in the ceremony were delighted. Or as Deborah Kiley (second from left in this photo) put it, "thank you QAHN, and to you Simon & Michèle, for taking the time to come and present the Richard Evans award in Shannon! We were very honored to be recognized for this most prestigious award!"

Annie Hyland, perhaps better known to many as Sister Saint-Patrice (1873-1939), chose a life of duty and service with the Grey Nuns in Nicolet in 1893.
Serving as a music teacher and later a nurse at Saint Mary’s Residential School in Cardston, Alberta, located on the Blood Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy, Annie’s story is connected to the shameful history and legacy of Canada’s residential school system. Host Julie Miller tells the poignant and difficult story about Annie Hyland from the Cimetière des Soeurs grises, in Nicolet, Quebec.
