Nowruz to be Recognized as National Celebration in Ontario

An act of validation of Nowruz as a national celebration has been presented to Ontario Parliament by a Canadian parliament member.

Tehran, 28 February 2006 (CHN) -- An act of formalizing Nowruz (Persian New Year) as a national celebration has been presented to Ontario Parliament by Mario Racco, member of provincial parliament of Thornhill in Ontario Parliament on 23 February 2006.

Based on this proposal, 21st of March will be announced as Nowruz Day in the state of Ontario.

According to Iranian Enthusiasts Association, in addition to presenting of this act, Mario Racco mentioned the positive role of Iranian-Canadian Association in this state and their efforts for promoting Canadian society.

In addition to emphasizing the importance of Nowruz, Rosario Marchese, a member of Trinty-Spadina provincial district in Ontario Parliament asked for the special attention of Canadian government to the situation of Iranian immigrants in Canada especially in the field of job creating. She also referred to some points of a report by Mehdi Kouhestani, an Iranian scholar, about the job problems of Iranians in Canada such as their lower wages compared to their Canadian counterparts and working in jobs which do not suite their level of education and specialty.

Frank Klees, member of Oak Ridges in Ontario Parliament also remarked the importance of Nowruz and appreciated the Iranian-Canadian Association in development of the society and their important role in construction, electronics, computer, and communication sciences.

Last year, it was the British Colombia provincial parliament which for the first time validated Nowruz, the ancient celebration of Iranian New Year.

More than 53 percent of Iranian population in Canada lives in Ontario State which has 5 million population and they form one of the most successful immigrant minority communities in Canadian society.

"An act of formalizing Nowruz (Persian New Year)"

Since when is Nowruz only a Persian New Year? It is an IRANIAN new year...

Good job Ontario!

Nowruz is a Persian word but it is not just a Persian festival and not even just an Iranian festival.

Now has an IE root

and Ruz is Rozh in Kurdish, so has a common Iranic root.

So the root is not Persian in particular, it is a celebrated by all iranian people and those that they have influenced.

Cent, some of PKK sources which I look sometimes, refer to nowruz as JUST "Kurdish new year". they never mention the word or never associate it with Iran (not suprisingly). but its good that you don't follow their ways. right???

 

also, Uzbekistan and KHazakestan celebrate it to  right???

Presidential Message: Nowruz

March 2005

I send greetings to those celebrating Nowruz.

Nowruz marks the arrival of a new year and the celebration of life. It has long been an opportunity to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Many Americans who trace their heritage to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Central Asia observe this special occasion to preserve their rich heritage and ensure that their values and traditions are passed on to future generations. This festival also reminds all Americans of the diversity that has made our Nation stronger and better.

Laura and I send our best wishes for peace and prosperity in the New Year.

GEORGE W. BUSH

what is wrong with kurds. we are iranic just like them... we are all one people. just because other kurds are in iraq and turkey, and syria, the PKK should not attack iranian culture or history, because it is also theirs in a way, because either way, kurds are iranic and iran is the land for all iranic peoples.

When is PKK attacking Iranian culture and history?

It's a Kurdish proverb. Do you think I only talk about Kurds in Iran? What about 25 million other Kurds? Kurds have been tools for everyone, every nation the last 100 years, and the proverb says that. The mountains has been our home, when we fight for freedom. The proverb also indicates that noone can be trusted, not even other Kurdish parties can trust eachother.

I understand that you can't understand our mentality. You have a state. Not we. And not say that Iran is Kurds home, when only 20% of the Kurds live there.

iran, as well as tajikistan as well as aghanistan are all homes for all iranic peoples.

iran doesnt mean "land of the persians" iran means "land of aryans".

iran is the home of persians, medes, kurds, talyshi's, tajiks, etc...

its not just my home, its my kurdish brother's homes too. its your home too.

and kurds were one of the first iranic peoples. did you read the thread about kurdish history???  kurds infact helped establish the median and persian empires! we are all one people, we are brothers.

and when has iran ever used the kurds as a tool?

"and when has iran ever used the kurds as a tool?"

For instance when Iran helped PUK and PDK against Saddam. And Saddam helped KPDI and Komela against Iran.

Dear Land of Aryan,
You have started a lovely and interesting topic, but I really don't know why every time people take it to some other ways and start their own arguments, anyway we the Afghans too celebrate it and count it as a blessing day and a new day to step in.
So happy Naw-Roz to all members in Advance and wish this new year brings lots of joy, happiness and peace to all.
