Dear SCA Neighbours,
Here comes the eleventh month of the year! It feels like the routines have settled in and it’s time to start thinking of our new year’s resolutions. As November unfolds, keep in mind there are only eight weeks left in the year – make the most of it. Below are a few holidays that are worth looking into to strengthen our community spirit!
Celebrations in November:
1. Diwali – November 1
Diwali is the Festival of Lights celebrated by Sikhs and Hindus. It is celebrated by lighting candles or lanterns to symbolize light over darkness. Sweets like gulab jaman, jalebis, and more are common to be found at the dinner table during celebrations. If you’re celebrating, consider inviting a neighbour over to share the significance behind the holiday and share some of those tasty treats!
2. Remembrance Day – November 11
Take a moment to honour the sacrifices made by our veterans. You might visit a local memorial, attend a ceremony, or simply spend a few moments in reflection. Consider sharing stories of veterans in your family with your neighbours to keep their memories alive.
