ANQ expanded it's new year celebration event to big community. This year, we organized this event jointly with École Saint-Barthélemy in Montreal. As usual, there was a special nepali cultural show full of dance, music and articles. Snacks and full course dinner was served at this event.

This year, many participants a symbol from Nepal with them like Nepali cap, a small tag, Daura-Suruwal, Sari, Pashmina, Scarf, etc. We would like to thank all volunteers and the participants for your kind support and your active participation to successfully organize this program!

The event was organized on the following address:

The first climber of world's highest mountain - Mount Everest 8,850 m (29,035 ft) peak with Mr. Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay on 29 May 1953 - Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88 years on 11 January 2008. He was honoured many national and international presitgious awards. The legendary mountaineer, adventurer, and philanthropist is the best-known New Zealander. He was the honourary citizen of Nepal also.

We deeply mourn his passing away.

Members of a small nepalese community living temporarily or permanently in Montreal have also helped the people in trouble after last months flood in various parts of Nepal.

Montrealers also got distressed after the losses caused by this flood. Taking a thought - wiping tears of people in trouble is our first responsibility rather than just feeling sad - Mr. Ratnamani Hartamchhali started collecting fund here in Montreal. With a motto of making at least a small contribution to the needy people, Mr. Hartamchhali collected NRs. 70,000.00 (Seventy Thousands). We came to know that this amount has been handed over to Prime Minister Calamity Reformation Fund through Asst. Prime Minister Amik Sherchan. (Source: www.nepaljapan.com)
