International Day of Nowruz HistoryInternational Day of Nowruz recognizes an age-old tradition that marks the beginning of spring and a new year in Iranian calendars. Encompassing a wealth of cultural diversity and inclusivity, Nowruz, Persian for "new day," promotes values of peace, solidarity between generations and within families, communal support and neighborliness, and respect for cultural diversity and nature’s renewal. It is a day that encourages reconnecting with nature and cultural roots and is inclusive for everyone, regardless of their ethnicity or religion. Nowruz is celebrated by over 300 million people worldwide, and its rich history extends back over 3,000 years to the time of the Persian Empire. In 2010, the International Day of Nowruz was officially recognized by the United Nations General Assembly, fortifying its standing as a significant cultural celebration. For Canadians, particularly those of Iranian, Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Afghan, and Tajik descent, this day represents an essential link to their cultural heritage. The celebration upholds the ideas of multiculturalism and diversity, values that echo Canada's societal principles. In Canada, the observance of International Day of Nowruz varies. Various communities host cultural events, parades, dances, meals, and display Haft-Sin tables adorned with seven symbolic items all starting with the letter "S" in the Persian language. Public declarations by governmental bodies, including the Prime Minister, are also commonplace, recognizing the contributions of those who celebrate Nowruz to the multicultural tapestry of Canada.
