Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is here, and it's a time to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, and light over darkness. This festival is celebrated differently across many diverse regions; but the heart of the festival remains the same. Across homes and communities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, diyas will be lit, symbolizing this triumph, while sweets and gifts will be exchanged with family and friends, strengthening bonds and spreading goodwill.
