100th Toronto-First Zoroastrian Scout Group - May 2019 (submitted by Freddy Mirza)

On Sunday May 5th, our Group invited an indigenous “First

nation” guest speaker, Mr. Cat Crigar, and Cheryl Cress to

educate the youth on the customs and rituals of the indigenous

people and share their stories. Cat Criger is an Indigenous Elder,

Traditional Teacher and Knowledge Keeper. He holds the

position of Indigenous Advisor and is steward of the Indigenous

Centre at the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus. After

the group’s opening ceremony outside, Cat and Cheryl lit the

sage smoke fire as part of the Indigenous ritual, and explained

the significance of the ritual. Cat told some interesting stories

and displayed the artifacts he had brought with him. The youths found it very interesting that the indigenous rituals,

beliefs and practices were very similar to our own. At the closing, we thanked Cat and Cheryl for their visit and sharing

all the great stories with the youth.

The scouts then proceeded to clean up the activity area and prepare for camp for the following weekend. They inspected,

tested and cleaned the lanterns, stove and tents, and also planned menu and activities that they would partake in at the

camp.

The weekend of May 10 to May 12th our Scouts

attended the annual Dorchester International

Brotherhood Camp (DIBC). This was the 20th year

for DIBC and on opening day, special recognition was

given to the 6 founding members of the DIBC camp.

The weather was excellent and the scouts spent most

of their time by the river. They did some fun and

adventurous activities such as trail biking, axe

throwing, giant tire toss, rappelling, tight rope

walking, wild obstacles course and many more. The

scouts also prepared and enjoyed delicious meals like

soup and chicken Quesada as well as the ever popular

chicken biryani!!! All in all, it was another great camp.

The Beaver-Scouts and the Cub-scouts had a Sleepover at the

Ripley Aquarium in Downtown Toronto from Saturday May

11th to Sunday May 12th.

They learned about the importance of avoiding plastic waste

and the damage it does to aquatic life and the environment.

The youth learned the ancient art of printing on a cloth called

“Gyotaku Fish Printing”. They walked around the aquarium

and then had a “Behind the scenes” tour of some of the less

visited areas of the aquarium such as the holding tanks for sick

or new fish, how the larger animals are transported via trolley

and the freezer used to store all of the food for these amazing

fish! Later they were served a latenight snack before falling

asleep in the shark tunnel with sharks, saw fish, sting rays and

turtles to keep them company. Such a unique experience

enjoyed by all! Next morning, after a delicious breakfast they

got a chance to see the feeding of the sharks and stingrays. The youths got a chance to actually touch the grey spotted

sharks, horse shoe crabs, and stingrays and they fed the shrimps. It was a memorable week-end which everyone will

remember for the rest of their lives!!

As a reminder, our group will be holding a registration and parent night for new and existing members on Friday, July

12th. Dinner will be served, courtesy of our group. If you would like to volunteer as a leader or if you would like to

register your child(ren), please do attend. For more info, please contact: Freddy Mirza (416)-74409207 or Ferozeshaw

Ogra (416)-476-3729.


Zubin Mehta Movie and Dinner Night

ZSO hosted Mervon Mehta, Zubin Mehta’s son, who brought Zubin’s new movie called, “Good Thoughts, Good Words,

Good Deeds: The Conductor Zubin Mehta” to the Darbe Mehr for movie night. The evening started off with Mervon

giving us an introduction to the movie and saying a few words about how his father loves India and the Parsis, so much so

that he has still kept his Indian passport. The movie was shown and then we had Khush Panthaky, former TV journalist,

interview Mervon and take questions from the audience. This was followed by dinner and dessert and networking with

Mervon.

Mervon is the Executive Director at the The Royal Conservatory and is bringing another Parsi conductor, Zane Dalal,

from the National Symphony Orchestra of India, along with the famous tabla player, Zakir Hussain, to perform in Toronto

on Jan. 24th, 2020. Mervon has also arranged for a group discount for the Zoroastrians!

Zane Dalal and Zakir Hussain Performance

Legendary tabla master, Zakir Hussain, and jazz trailblazer acoustic bassist, John Patitucci, bring an extraordinary

program conducted by Zane Dalal of the National Symphony Orchestra of India.
