Happy Norooz, the Iranian New Year,
is a time to welcome spring and celebrate renewal.
The twelve day celebration
is a special time for friends and family which starts every
year with the Vernal Equinox (or first day of spring). In
honour of the occasion, the students at North Van's Handsworth
school celebrated last week with a special lunchtime party
complete with displays, music and a dance competition that
included
the teachers. Check it out.
Vancouver's best events and celebrity
functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs,
gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would
quickly exceed the amount of memory needed. If you would like to receive a copy
of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the
details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number
and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for
security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures
to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo.
Thanks. |
