Happy Festival of Lights!<br />

Did you know that November was proclaimed Hindu<br />

Heritage Month by the City of Ottawa last year?<br />

It’s also the month of Diwali, the grand festival of lights<br />

which is celebrated by Hindus around the world. It is<br />

also observed by our Jain, Sikh, and some Buddhist<br />

neighbours.<br />

Diwali is a time of year to remember and honour the<br />

victory of light over dark, good over evil, and knowledge<br />

over ignorance.<br />

The Diwali festivities normally take place over five days<br />

and this year, in Canada, they culminate on Sunday,<br />

<strong>October</strong> 27.<br />

Happy Diwali to our friends and neighbours who<br />

celebrate the holiday! We hope the coming year brings<br />

much light, happiness, and prosperity to you and to our<br />

whole community!<br />

There is - as with all celebrations - good food, focus on<br />

children, love, and laughter.<br />

Joyeuse fête des<br />

lumières !<br />

Saviez-vous que, l’an dernier, novembre a été proclamé<br />

Mois du patrimoine hindou par la Ville d’Ottawa ?<br />

Novembre est également le mois de Divali, la grande<br />

fête des lumières célébrée par les hindous du monde<br />

entier. Elle aussi observée par nos voisins jaïns, sikhs et<br />

par certains bouddhistes.<br />

Divali marque le temps de l’année où l’on commémore<br />

et honore la victoire de la lumière sur les ténèbres, du<br />

bien sur le mal et du savoir sur l’ignorance.<br />

Normalement, les festivités se déroulent sur cinq jours.<br />

Cette année, au Canada, elles culmineront le dimanche<br />

27 octobre.<br />

Heureuse Divali à tous nos amis et voisins qui célèbrent<br />

cette fête des lumières ! Que la prochaine année vous<br />

apporte, ainsi qu’à notre communauté toute entière,<br />

beaucoup de lumière, de bonheur et de prospérité !<br />

Comme la plupart des célébrations, Divali est synonyme<br />

de rire, d’amour, de bonnes victuailles et de plaisir pour<br />

les enfants.<br />
