To celebrate Eid-Ul-Adha I have planned a get-together on Saturday, December 20th at Bombay Palace.  Sorry for the late notice but bookings are hard to make at this time of the year.  We have the place booked from 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM so please try to come as early as possible.  Here is the map for the place:

The price per plate is $18 for adults and $9 for children under 12 years of age, the food is sure to be great.  This time the get-together is held on a Saturday instead of the usual Sunday as per the request of many people who work on Sunday.  We'll keep switching the days around in the future so everyone can attend.

Please pass this message along to your family and friends.  I hope to see everyone there, if you have any questions, just email or call me at the number below.  An RSVP is not required to this email as the price of the banquet hall is not predetermined and based on how many people come.  

Once again, Eid Mubarak to everyone and I hope to celebrate this auspicious occasion with all of you.

Asalamualaikum and Ramadan Mubarak,

Please note that an RSVP is REQUIRED for this event.

As Ramadan draws to a close and Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, I thought it would be a good idea to have an Eid get-together.

The event is scheduled on Sunday October 12th, 2008 at 12PM at Havelly Restaurant & Banquet Hall in Mississauga.  The address for the restaurant is:

4141 Dixie Rd
Mississauga, ON, L4W1V5
Phone: 905 212 1213

We usually hold this event at Bombay Palace but this year I figured we should try something different.

The price per plate is $20 and kids are half price. 

Please call 416 737 9024 or email zarars at gmail dot com and specify whether you will be attending or not.  Please also specify the number of people attending so that the proper reservations can be made.  Feel free to forward this invitation to other members of your family and friends.

If you have any questions, just call or email me.  You may also contact Mrs. Tabasum Shuja at 905 799 9329, she greatly helped in organizing this event.  We hope to see everyone there.

Many thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to attend the protest.  Special thanks go to our brothers and sisters from Azad Kashmir who helped organize this pioneer event for Kashmiris in Toronto.

Dear members,

All of you are probably aware of the ongoing crisis in Kashmir and the innocent deaths, injuries, blockades, curfews, arrests, harassment and other difficulties our family, friends and neighbors are currently undergoing.

Several members of the Kashmiri community in Canada recently met and decided to condemn the actions of the Indian establishment and extend moral support to the people of Kashmir.

In this regard, it was unanimously decided that we will hold a 'silent protest demonstration' outside the Indian Consulate in Toronto, and later present a memorandum to the Indian government, the Canadian government and other relevant organizations.

The details are as follows:

Date: 30th August, 2008 (Saturday)
Time: 1:00pm (Assembly time), 1:30pm (Starting time)
Venue: Indian Consulate, Toronto (365 Bloor St. E, Toronto)

Directions: The map can be viewed it:

The nearest TTC subway stop is the Sherbourne Station.

Please arrive early to avoid parking delays. Please bring family and kids along. It's our show of support to the people of Kashmir more than anything else. Be a part of it.

Organized under the banners of:

Student's International League for Kashmir (SILK)
Friends of Kashmir
 
Contact silk.canada@gmail.com for any questions.

Thanks to everyone who attending the picnic.  Those of you who didn't make it, we hope to see you next time.

Here are a few pics from the park:

The picnic has been postponed by one week to August 3rd 2008.  This is because many people will be going camping on the weekend of August 27th and would be unable to make it.

By postponing the picnic we will have a much higher turnout.

The picnic will still be at Kelso Conservation Area:

Here is the website for the park:

http://www.conservationhalton.on.ca/ShowCategory.cfm?subCatID=1085

Let's try to be there by 12PM - I hope to be there around 11AM to welcome all of you.

This is a pot-luck style event and you may bring a snack or a food item.  Those who can't bring their own food for whatever reason, feel free to feast on others' as it is usually much, much more fun.

For those of you using GPS Systems, here are the coordinates: 43.509, -79.509.

It has been a long time since a get-together so I thought we should have at least a couple before the summer ends and at least one more in the fall.  I hope everyone can make it this time as we have not joined as a whole community in quite some time.

I've arranged a picnic on Sunday the 27th of July at Kelso Conservation Area in Halton (near Mississauga).  We have been there once before and it is a very nice area with boating, hiking and just about everything else.  As usual there will be cricket and soccer matches.
