The Zoroastrian Society of British Columbia
Welcome to the vibrant heart of Zoroastrian culture in British Columbia! We are dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich heritage and traditions of Zoroastrianism. Our close-knit community is committed to fostering a sense of belonging and understanding among members and friends alike.
The Z.S.B.C
Here in “Supernatural British Columbia” a vast array of cultures and ethnic groups live together in harmony and peace with cross-cultural understanding.
As the followers of the ancient teachings of Ahura Mazda, we are the representatives of a 3762 year old dynamic philosophy and are practising the good religion of Asho Zarathushtra in this multicultural environment. Although we are not the first FEZANA association to have an online presence, we are evolving with the times in order to showcase our uniqueness in a sea of harmonious cultural exchange.
Our community currently has 494 registered households collectively made up of 1,216 individuals in British Columbia (B.C.). As the second largest Zoroastrian organization in Canada (and the second oldest within North America) consisting of first, second and third-generation Zoroastrians, this society’s faith is firmly embedded within this beautiful province.
The Zoroastrian Society of British Columbia (Z.S.B.C.) turned 56 years old on February 22, 2024, and we continue to host several programs for our members while also recently kick starting many new initiatives.
We welcome you to our website, like Canadians have graciously welcomed us to this amazing country many decades ago.
‘Hamazor’ is a ritual handshake, a ritual that unites two persons in prayers symbolizing unanimity, determination, solidarity and resoluteness of purpose. It promotes spiritual synergy.
