On March 21, over 450 participants joined us at St. Agatha Community Centre for a vibrant and memorable gathering. The day began with breakfast and continued with children’s gifts, a festive play area, raffles, and a variety of fun activities.

The joy of children, warm conversations among families, and the strong sense of togetherness made this day truly special. Through games, laughter, and shared moments, we celebrated the values of community, care, and connection.

We sincerely thank all our dedicated volunteers and wonderful guests who helped create this beautiful atmosphere.

Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful Eid filled with happiness and connection.

The most anticipated moment for children—the giving of traditional holiday gifts—was made even more special as they received their bayram envelopes from respected elders, GRFS board members, advisory member Mr. Leon, and Green Party MPP Ms.Aislinn. Her heartfelt Eid wishes deeply touched our community.

Following breakfast, joy overflowed as children enjoyed cotton candy, ice cream, cascading fruit from the “Viko Lots” fountain, relay games, and playful competitions. Every detail created moments of joy and lasting memories.

But yesterday wasn’t just about celebration—it was about reunion. It was a vibrant expression of gratitude and shared happiness. The gathering painted a picture of the GRFS mission in action: touching every heart, building bridges, and carrying hope forward.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants, volunteers, and contributors who made this beautiful day possible.

At GRFS, we believe love is more than a word—it’s what we do. Love is a Verb.
