Today, members of the Persian, Afghan, Kurdish, Zoroastrian, Baháʼí, Ismaili Muslim, and Central Asian communities in Canada and across the world are celebrating Nowruz, the start of the New Year in the Persian calendar.
This ancient celebration marks the first day of spring, celebrating the return of light and the end of the darkness that is winter. Nowruz is a holiday filled with hope and is a time when friends and family come together around the haft-seen table to share a festive meal or take part in cultural community events.
