Mr. Speaker, yesterday, on March 20, my family and I joined all who celebrate the joyous occasion of Nowruz, also known as the Persian new year, in gathering around our haft-seen table. As we marked the beginning of the spring by basking in the fresh smell of sabzeh and sonbol and the sweet aroma of samanu, and enjoying the delicious traditional meal of sabzi polo mahi, I began to reflect on how far we have come since Nowruz 2020. Since then, we have continued to stand against the darkness brought by COVID-19 and other challenges. Despite the current global threats, we have to continue to try to welcome the light. To my fellow Persians and all cultural communities who celebrate Nowruz in Richmond Hill, in Canada and across the globe, I wish a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous new year.
