Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
This
festival
of
lights
is
celebrated
from
south
asian
communities
by
hindus,
jains
and
some
buddhas,
and
signifies
peace
and
joy,
the
victory
of
good
over
evil
and
light
over
darkness
every
day.
It
is
a
celebration
of
prosperity
in
which
people
give
gifts
to
their
loved
ones
and
follow
the
message
of
illuminating,
our
inner
selves,
with
clarity
and
positivity.
A
This
celebration
is
also
significant
in
the
sikh
communities
as
it
commemorates
the
day.
The
sixth
girl
of
six
was
released
for
from
the
fault
after
he
was
able
to
secure
the
release
of
52
kings
and
political
prisoners
with
him.
During
this
festival,
it
is
customary
to
decorate
homes
with
lights,
lamps,
diaz,
flowers,
rangoli
and
candles.
This
year's
diwali
embodies
the
spirit
of
this
great
celebration
in
more
ways
than
one.
It
is
the
first
diwali
since
the
pandemic,
where
friends,
families
and
communities
can
gather
to
safely
celebrate
together.
A
In
the
many
challenges
the
kuwait
knight
in
pandemic.
Nothing
signifies
a
triumph
of
light
over
darkness,
more
than
the
incredible
action
of
our
south
asian
communities.
We
will
embody
the
spirit
of
charity
and
hope
not
just
for
the
five-day
festival
of
lights,
but
all
year
round,
our
south
asian
communities
have
gone
above
and
beyond
to
help.
