Canadesi: Pakistanis celebrate independence day in Canada

Despite being more than 9,000 kilometres away from home, Pakistanis celebrate Jashn-e-Azadi in Canada.

Pakistanis residing in Canada displayed their deep-seated ardour for Pakistan by organising processions, flag hoisting ceremony, and other activities (such as selling jalebis and kulfi, as well as rickshaw and tonga rides) reminiscent of the Pakistani culture.
