Today, members of the Iranian, Afghan, Kurdish, Zoroastrian, Baháʼí, Ismaili Muslim and Central Asian communities in Canada and around the world are celebrating Nowruz, marking the start of the New Year according to the Persian calendar.
This ancient festival marks the beginning of spring, celebrating the return of light and bidding farewell to the darkness of winter. Nowruz is a time of festivities including gathering around the haft-sin table with family and loved ones, cultural community events, gift giving, feasting and camaraderie. It is a day to come together and celebrate the renewal of hope and the triumph of light over darkness and joy over sorrow.
