St.Patricks Day in QC

So apparently this is the first time, in 80 years, that a St.Patricks day parade was held in the city of Quebec. We were able to get a spot on Turnbull Ave and St-Jean St. just as the parade was approaching.

Interesting to see so many Irish folks from within the city... many of whom seem to have no trace of Quebecois accent whatsoever.

Here are a few pics from the event:
