THE IRISH HARP PUB
Community Growth Initiatives
At The Irish Harp Pub, we believe in the power of community and the spirit of giving back. Our roots run deep in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and we're committed to nurturing the town that has embraced us since 2005. Through partnerships with local businesses, charities, and community leaders, we actively invest in programs, infrastructure, safety initiatives, and efforts to enhance the warmth and comfort of both our citizens and visitors - especially children and animals.
Our goal is to make a lasting, positive difference in the lives of those around us, embodying the true Irish spirit of hospitality and camaraderie beyond our pub walls.

| LATEST PROJECT: July 2024
NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE MUSEUM
Niagara-on-the-lake is one of the most historic Towns in Canada and our local Museum has national treasures that are discovered by tourists daily! General Brock's Hat, Laura Secord's prized possessions, Joseph Brant's powder horn, and even a German machine gun captured by Canadians at Vimy Ridge!
Our Museum is experiencing some struggles lately and they need our help! They're looking for support to become completely accessible with an elevator, access hallways, and washrooms so that no one must feel a barrier to visiting this hidden gem! Help them to get a programming room so they can host Kids camps, March break, and PD Programs as well as heritage workshops and programs for the young at heart.
Finally, they're also looking to revamp their exhibitions with new engaging virtual reality and hands-on experiences. They have the artifacts; they have the stories and now they need your support to build the facility to meet these needs!
