🇨🇦 Honoring Tamil Heritage Month in Canada! Since 2016, January has been dedicated to celebrating the rich Tamil culture. Join the festivities as Tamils across the country commemorate Thai Pongal, a joyous harvest festival spanning from January 15th to 18th. With a significant Tamil population of over 200,000 in Canada, Toronto stands as a proud host to approximately 122,000 Tamils. This year, we are excitedly anticipating the 15th annual Tamil Heritage Month, themed "TAMILICIOUS | Tamils and Food: Past, Present, and Future." 🍲🔥 It presents an excellent opportunity to embrace and celebrate Tamil culture, with a special focus on its delectable cuisine!

To learn more about Thai Pongal, here is an excellent short video titled “Thai Pongal as Celebrated by the Rajasinghams”: https://youtu.be/1gSb-1zNToY.
