The Ireland Park Foundation, operating as the Canada Ireland Foundation, is a cultural and heritage organization dedicated to commemorating Irish famine migrants who arrived during the Great Hunger of 1847 and strengthening Canadian connections to Irish culture. The private company is based in Toronto, Canada. The foundation created Ireland Park to honor the migrants and the Canadians who aided them, featuring sculptural memorials inspired by Irish artist Rowan Gillespie, and developed Grasett Park to recognize healthcare workers who cared for typhus-afflicted migrants. It is transforming the Corleck, a historic waterfront building, into an arts, culture, and heritage venue scheduled to open in 2026, which will host exhibitions, theatre, music, and community events celebrating Irish-Canadian heritage and broader cultural diversity. The foundation also produces cultural programming such as theatrical adaptations of Irish literature, art exhibitions, and festivals, and offers digital initiatives like the virtual exhibit "Irish Famine Migrant Stories in Ontario." The Canadian company was founded by Robert G. Kearns.
