The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Vernon
monashee,
thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
this
month,
Many,
religious
and
cultural
celebrations
are
happening
across
our
province,
which
reminds
us
about
the
Oneness.
One
of
the
things
that
makes
BC
such
a
great
province
is
that
we
are
a
beautiful
Mosaic
where
each
cultural
Community
is
allowed
to
celebrate
their
unique
traditions
and
celebrations.
Six
celebrated
vasaki
on
April
13th,
one
of
the
most
important
dates
in
Sikh
calendar
a
day
to
celebrate
1699
when
Sikhism
was
born
as
a
collective
Faith.
Six
believe
in
Oneness
and
God
is
one.
A
We
need
this
reminder
in
today's
world,
where
divisiveness
hatred
and
ignorance
towards
others
is
so
prevalent.
The
Muslim
Community
has
been
observing
Ramadan
for
the
past
month
and
will
celebrate
the
breaking
of
their
past
fast
with
each
celebration
happening
on
April
20th
Christians
also
observed
several
holidays
this
month
from
Palm
Sunday,
Good
Friday
and
just
recently
Easter,
where
they
celebrate
celebrated
the
resurrection
of
their
Lord
and
Savior
Jesus
Christ
Passover
is
also
celebrated
this
month
by
those
in
the
Jewish
Community
to
honor
the
freeing
of
the
Israeli
slaves.
A
Mahavir
jayanti
is
celebrated
by
those
following
religion,
journalism
and
celebrating
the
birth
of
Lord
mahavir.
For
those
who
do
not
participate
in
any
of
these
holidays.
Spring
itself
is
a
celebration,
as
weather
begins
to
warm
up
and
the
daylight
stretches
into
the
evening.
We
begin
to
feel
more
energized
and
connected
with
others,
no
matter
whether
you
celebrate
a
holiday
or
or
not
this
month,
we
still
have
much
more
in
common
than
different.
