Yalda (Iranian Winter Solstice Celebration)
Yalda, also known as Shab-e Yalda, is an ancient Persian festival celebrating the longest night of the year. Families gather to share poetry, fruits, nuts and pomegranates, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. It's a time to strengthen bonds, reflect on the past year and look forward to the brighter days ahead.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*
*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
