November 11, 2026

Nepalese Canadian Community Services (NCCS) is honored to receive a special Tihar Festival message from the Premier of Ontario, recognizing the valuable contributions of the Nepali community and celebrating the rich cultural diversity that strengthens our province.

In the message, the Premier highlights the significance of Tihar as a festival that symbolizes harmony, gratitude, the connection between people and nature, and the triumph of light over darkness. The message also acknowledges the vibrant Nepali Hindu community and its many contributions toward making Ontario a welcoming, inclusive, and prosperous place for all.

The Premier further recognizes the efforts of NCCS staff, volunteers, and community members who work tirelessly to preserve and promote Nepali culture, traditions, and values while building stronger connections across communities in Ontario.

Tihar, one of the most cherished festivals in Nepali culture, is a time for family gatherings, cultural celebrations, and expressions of gratitude and respect. Through music, dance, traditional rituals, and community engagement, the festival showcases the beauty, diversity, and hospitality of Nepalese heritage.

NCCS extends its sincere appreciation to the Premier of Ontario for sharing these warm wishes with our community. We are grateful for the continued recognition and support of multicultural communities across the province.

As we celebrate Tihar, we wish our members, supporters, and all Ontarians peace, prosperity, happiness, and good health.

Happy Tihar!
