Our third Homeward Trek which takes place September 5th - 12th. We will be welcoming home descendants of families who left south County Wicklow from townlands as far apart as Kilballyown and Killing and from town-- lands as far apart as Knocknaboley and Ballard. Due to a couple of cancellations and also the acquisition of extra self catering accommodation we are now in a position to welcome home more of our extended diaspora. Fur further information contact kevin@coollattincanadianconnection.com or use our CONTACT page.

Welcome to the Coollattin Canadian Connection
An initiative to reunite our Canadian diaspora with their south Wicklow roots.
To say I loved every minute would be an understatement. The week exceeded my expectations and I'm so glad to have been part of such a memorable experience. Thanks everyone, especially to Kevin and Eleanor for making the Homeward Trek so fantastic and so very, very unforgettable. - John Hopkins, Vancouver
