October 31, 2024
OTTAWA, ON – The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of National Defence, and the Honourable Kamal Khera, Minister of Seniors, issued the following statement on Diwali:
“Today, we join millions of Canadians in celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights.
Diwali is a time to reflect on the triumph of good over evil and the importance of light in dispelling darkness. It is a festival that celebrates the victory of hope and resilience over adversity.
For Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists around the world, Diwali is a sacred occasion to spend time with family and friends, share delicious food, and exchange gifts. It is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future with optimism.
The lights of Diwali are a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we must never lose hope. They are a symbol of the human spirit’s ability to overcome adversity and find joy and meaning in life.
As we celebrate Diwali, let us also remember the importance of community and giving back. Diwali is a time to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate and to spread kindness and compassion throughout our communities.
On behalf of the Government of Canada, we extend our warmest wishes to all those celebrating Diwali. May this festival bring you joy, peace, and prosperity.
Diwali Mubarak!”
