TORONTO CITY HALL EID CELEBRATIONS

 

Eid - ul - Adha was celebrated at the Toronto City Hall for the first time on January 24, 2006.  Mayor David Miller was presented with Sandulak's polar bear sculpture.

The 2nd celebration was held on January 8, 2007.

Councillor Suzan Hall was the emcee on both occasions.  Guests and members of the Association enjoy a delicious dinner (South Asian cuisine). 

Many Councillors, Consul Generals for the United States of America, Pakistan, India, Syria, Thailand and Indonesia, Chiefs and Deputy  Chiefs of several regional police services, representatives from various government offices, leaders of community organizations, attend this event.

Cakes on both occasions were provided by Dr. Panjwani.  The cake, a replica of City Hall in 2006, added a special touch to the celebration.  The cake in 2007 had the Association's logo, City Hall's Coat of Arms and Eid Mubarak on it and was very delicious.

Dilshaan Panjwani, who has been singing the National Anthem for most of the Association's functions since she was six years old, sang the National Anthem
