Community in Canada

Introduction:

Welcome to the colorful world of UPICA (Uttar Pradesh in Canada), a close-knit community that
stands as a beacon of support for the people of Uttar Pradesh living in Canada. In this blog, we'll delve
into the heartwarming celebrations of Indian festivals by UPICA, exploring the unique blend of
traditions and the strong sense of community that defines their events

Holi – A Riot of Colours and Laughter:

During Holi, UPICA hosts vibrant open-air celebrations where colour runs, Bollywood music, and
traditional Bhojpuri songs paint the town red (or rather, every colour under the rainbow). Children
chase each other with gulal, adults dance with uninhibited joy, and the air buzzes with the infectious
spirit of unity and forgiveness.

Diwali Celebration of Indian Community in Canada

Diwali in Canada, with UPICA, is a testament to the resilience of tradition. Homes are adorned with
rangoli, diyas cast a warm glow in community halls, and the sweet aroma of gulab jamuns
announces the arrival of prosperity. Cultural performances showcasing Kathak and Bhangra
dazzle the audience, while prayers for well-being echo through the night.
Beyond the Big Two:

But UPICA's celebration doesn't stop there. From Janmashtami's devotional fervor to Lohri's
crackling bonfires, they weave the tapestry of Uttar Pradesh's cultural mosaic across
Canada. Whether it's organizing Dussehra effigy burning or showcasing Ramlila at local
theatres, they ensure every festival finds its rightful place in the Canadian calendar.

More Than Just Celebrations in UPICA Community

Being part of the UPICA family goes beyond attending events. It's about finding a home away
from home, a network of support and friendship. They offer language classes for kids, career
guidance for newcomers, and even senior citizen programs, ensuring no one feels alone in
this vast new land.

Whether you're a seasoned Canadian desi or a newcomer fresh off the plane, UPICA
welcomes you with open arms. Attending their events is a delightful way to experience the
vibrant culture of Uttar Pradesh, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate your heritage
with pride. So, come, paint the town with Holi colours, light up Diwali diyas, and discover the
warmth of the UPICA community. Remember, Canada might be your new home, but with
UPICA, a piece of India will always be right here, beating in your heart.
