From St. John’s, Newfoundland to Port Alberni, British Columbia, from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario to Whitehorse in the Yukon, Baha’is and their friends have been preparing for months to celebrate a momentous occasion with millions around the globe: the bicentenary of the birth of Baha’u’llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha’i Faith.
More than 1,000 events are planned across the country, ranging from small gatherings of friends, neighbours and families in homes and community centers, to gala events in large auditoriums accommodating hundreds of people. Diverse in size and setting, these celebrations of the birth of Baha’u’llah also reflect the diversity of Canada itself: commemorations will include round dances and ceremonies, art, crafts, and music from a host of cultures, and events will be hosted in a number of languages.
