The Story of the Irish in BC Spotlight Story: The

The Story of the Irish in BC Spotlight Story: The Ryan Family 💚
It was a (lucky) Friday the 13th, the day that I [Christine] met Shane Ryan in the Library Bar in Dublin ☘️
Shane was born and raised in British Columbia to Irish parents. We married and took a vacation to Vancouver Island to visit Shane’s parents. I knew immediately that I would one day live there. The natural beauty and sense of opportunity appealed to me. My PR status came in around the time of our daughter's birth so, soon after we packed up the family and headed to Victoria on a one-way ticket. I don’t think I realized what a life-changing decision this would be!
Today, my family and I divide our time between Victoria and our off-grid home on the Malahat mountain.
