Toronto's newest cultural district was officially inaugurated Saturday in North York, bringing joy and excitement to the Iranian community in the city. Persian-Canadians, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and Coun. Lily Cheng (Willowdale) joined together at Centre Park to unveil Little Iran's sign. On this Thanksgiving weekend, I want to show my gratitude to the Iranian community for coming together, celebrating, Chow said Saturday. Today is really a historic day.

Growing up in Tehran, Bobak Salehi did not connect with his Persian musical roots until he encountered traditional instruments in Istanbul and Portland.
