Persian Festival of Fires (Chaharshanbe Soori)
This year Chaharshanbe Soori (Persian Festival of Fires on March 14) will take place at two locations: in addition to the usual Sunnybrook Park, it will take place at Mel Lastman Sq. at 5100 Yonge Street (North York).
The program at Mel Lastman is completely different and is planned to have DJs, Music, Food and of course fireworks...
Update: Initially I thought the even is taking place at Mel Lastman only, but according to ShahreMa TV (Sun March 12) the even at Sunnybrook park is still on and like last year there will be buses to commute between the park and the free parking locations at Eglinton/Leslie. I'm actually glad, Mel Lastman is nice but Sunnybrook is old-fashioned and I really prefer to keep the jump-over-the-fire tradition... But nevertheless Mel Lastman sounds good too and it sponsored by more people...
Update2: I went to Mel Lastman Sq. They tried to do a good program but it just didn't feel like Chahar Shanbe Soori. I mean no jumping over the fire and even worse they even banned sparklers! I really hope next year we do it at Sunnybrook Park again or I'm done with Toronto!
Once again,
Time: March 14, 2006 6:30-9:30pm
Location: Mel Lastman Sq. (5100 Yonge St, North York)
Info: (416) 938-3373 and (416) 428-6024

How to Make a Goldfish Live for Decades - WikiHow
Last week I read in an article that a goldfish should live for 10 to 25 years or longer if it's given the proper care!
The Guinness Book of World Records cites a goldfish named Tish that lived 43 years after being won at a fair in England in 1956!
I'm lucky if one of the fish I buy on Persian new year make it to day 13!
