Supporting Life-Saving Care Close to Home
Celebrate community, culture, and compassion at the Nowruz Bazaar—a vibrant marketplace featuring local vendors, traditional dance and music, and a live DJ. This two-day event is an excellent opportunity to come together, enjoy rich cultural experiences, and support RVH Foundation’s Keep Life Wild campaign and the Hudson Regional Cancer Centre.
In keeping with Nowruz traditions, Hyacinths (Sonbol) and Tulips (Laleh)—both of which are culturally significant in Persian Haft-Sin displays—will be available for purchase. Proceeds from these sales will go towards the Hudson Regional Cancer Centre.
