“On behalf of the City of Brampton, I want to extend a heartfelt greeting to members of our vibrant Tamil community, who are gathering to celebrate Thai Pongal. “During the four-day festivities, families, friends and loved ones will give thanks to God, to the sun and to livestock for their contributions to an abundant and nourishing harvest.
“For all Bramptonians, these celebrations are an opportunity to embrace the rich Tamil culture and discover more about the contributions the Tamil community has made to Brampton, Ontario and all of Canada.
“Let us all take a moment and reflect on how thankful we are to call Brampton home. Ours is a community that welcomes people of diverse cultures, creeds and faiths, to worship freely.
“I offer my best wishes for a memorable and celebrated Thai Pongal festival. “Pongal nal-valthukal!”
