Saint John, New Brunswick, is often noted for having a significant Irish community. The city has deep historical ties to Ireland, especially due to the large number of Irish immigrants who arrived in the 19th century during the Great Famine. It’s estimated that a large percentage of the city’s population has Irish roots, making it  the place in Canada with the highest number of people of Irish descent per capita.

This Irish influence is still visible today in local culture, with events like the annual Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations being a big deal in the city.
