“May the colors of Holi fill your life with happiness, joy, and prosperity”

I love the diversity of cultures in Canada; the vibrancy and richness that this brings to life. As travel has become easier and communication across the globe instantaneous, it has become easier to embrace celebrations and influences from around the world and, of course, easier for people to move around and settle elsewhere; bringing with them their traditions and festivities.
