There will be challenge Games of Hurling/Camogie & Men’s Football this Monday, the 27th of July, from 7pm until 9pm at Vanier College.
In addition, there will be Ladies’ football Training happening at 8pm. This is ideal for beginners or those who want to brush up on the fundamentals.
If you’d like to attend either, you’ll need to register online first.
Training: Vanier Grass Field Mondays 7-9pm
The Montreal GAA have been working hard with Vanier College safety officers to allow us to return to training. A huge thank you to everyone who worked to make this happen.
Moving forward the strict protocol for attending gaelic games practice/training is as follows:
1) Sign up for practice online and also complete eligibility health questionnaire linked here: Deadline for each training session is 1pm each Monday or when spaces are filled.
2) Have completed and printed out the new insurance waiver form which now covers Covid-19 related incidents [English][French]
3) Have completed and printed out the Access to Vanier College form [English & French]
As numbers are restricted per session due to social distancing rules, groups of allowed attendees for each week will be released through regular player WhatsApp channels. Players who do not make the cut for a practice session will be given priority the following week.
See you out there!
Club Update: Covid-19
A Chairde,
Whether it’s to go to the gym together on a Monday, do basic skills together on a Wednesday, play cards together on a Thursday, go out for some craic together on a Friday, play our gaelic games together on a Saturday, watch GAA games in Ireland on the TV together on a Sunday, there is hardly a day goes by throughout the year when our members are not together. Through this togetherness we have become known as The Shamily.
We are now in strange times of self-isolation and although not physically together we remain together as a strong community. Reach out to all your team-mates, club members and beyond to make sure we are all remaining strong and healthy.
Winter Superleague
With the announcement that all sporting facilities will remain closed until at least May 1st, the current Winter Superleague is POSTPONED. We are working on several possibilities to finish out the current league once social distancing measures are lifted.
COVID-19
Please follow the latest updated government guidelines on self-isolation and safety.
A Message from the Irish Dept of Foreign Affairs in Canada
Dear all,
I would like to thank you for your assistance over the past couple of weeks in helping us get our messaging out to the Irish community on our various social media platforms.
Given how active the GAA network is across Canada, the support you are giving us is invaluable in terms of getting the latest updates out to the younger members of our community here.

We’d be grateful if you could continue to share our updates as we post them.
I know some of your members may have concerns about various issues arising from the COVID-19 situation, and so I wanted to send along a link with the latest IRCC guidance that has been shared by Canadian Embassies on Twitter today.
As always, we encourage everyone to check all travel advisories and requirements before travel. For the latest information on the COVID-19 situation in Ireland, including travel advice, please see here:
