On the Canadian shoreline of Lake Ontario, thousands of Indian Canadians congregated to celebrate Diwali with a music symphony and a cruise. The Diwali celebration in Toronto was organized by the Canada India Foundation in association with Sunray Group and Indo-Canada Arts Council. A fireworks display was also planned, but it was canceled when some suspected explosive material was discovered close to the airport on Toronto Island.
The dinner was presided over by India’s consul general in Toronto, Apoorva Srivastava. “We had been considering bringing Diwali to a popular location, like Harbourfront, until this incident occurred. I am thrilled beyond belief. On boats, parties are being held. It is a pretty original concept, “She spoke.
Executives from the Canada India Foundation, Ritesh Malick and Satish Thakkur, welcomed the neighborhood. Hindu Forum Canada also organised the neighbourhood to take part in this well-known Diwali celebration. On a cruise, the Indian flag was raised as everyone cheered and yelled “Vande Mataram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.”
