The mid-September timing aligns with two important milestones on the Celtic Canadian calendar. On the Irish side, it begins the six month countdown to the 2027 St. Patrick's Parade. The timing also recognizes the anniversary of the first mass immigration of Scots to what is now Canada. The Landing of the Ship Hector took place on September 15, 1773 in Pictou, Nova Scotia.
