Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wished Tamils all over the world on occasion of Pongal and hailed the contribution of the community in Canada. Last year, the Canadian Parliament passed a legislation recognising January as Tamil Heritage Month. Canada is home to a large number of Sri Lankan Tamils and Toronto is often described as a ‘mini-Jaffna’.
“Tamils in Canada and around the world will gather to celebrate Thai Pongal. This festival marks the end of the harvest season and start of the new year,” Mr Trudeau said.
“Friends and families will come together to give thanks for a prosperous harvest and a season of good fortune. It is a time for joy, celebration, and community,” the Canadian Prime Minister said.
