Ottawa Gaels GAA

Although it might not be as snowy today as the image suggests, we’re certainly dreaming of a white Christmas Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season #gaabelong #covidchristmas #happyholidays

Well done to these Ottawa Gaels Christmas elves, Wilfred, Michael and Conor, who braved the cold on Saturday to help distribute gifts and handmade cards to the Ottawa Irish Senior community! A special thanks to our youth members who spent lots of time making the beautiful cards - everyone was thrilled to receive them! We are very grateful to our sponsors Kelly Santini LLP & Pat Kelly who helped to make this event possible. Also, many thanks to our club members who assisted in spreading holiday cheer, during what has been a difficult time for many.

Now that we're Christmas carolling superstars, it's time to learn some carols "as Gaeilge!"
