Mary McSwiney
Originally from the idyllic town of Kenmare in Kerry, Mary McSwiney moved to Vancouver in 2017 to pursue a career in communications and program management. Mary joined the Brigid Festival Vancouver volunteer team in the fall of 2019 and looks forward to collaborating on many more events with the Irish community in the future.
With her background in history and politics, Mary is especially excited for the sessions focused on feminism, activism and Irish history.

We acknowledge that this event takes place on the traditional, ancestral
and unceded territories of many different Indigenous communities
stretching across this beautiful land we now call home.
As immigrants, we commit to learning about the rich culture, heritage and traditions of the Host Nations and look forward to working with them in partnership.
