Happy Diwali! Every year, millions of people from the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist & Jain communities celebrate Diwali. Diwali is celebrated over 5 days, & during this time, spaces are illuminated with lanterns, diyas & candles, representing the spiritual victory of light over darkness.

Today we pause to honour the sacrifices made by Canadians for our country. We honour those who lost their lives in service, families who lost loved ones & veterans who returned and the trauma they carry. To remember them is to advocate for peace. Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay
