A community begins with someone who cares.

From a first hello to a place of belonging.

When Soulmaz Boroumand moved from Toronto to Newmarket, she missed the everyday feeling of connection. A WhatsApp group became her invitation to meet other Persian neighbours.

Introductions grew into free workshops, business connections and cultural gatherings. With help from people across generations, including Behrad Khorsandi’s outreach to younger members, a community began to take shape.

Today, NPH carries that welcoming spirit into a shared home for our events, talents, businesses and culture. There is room here for a first hello—and for everything we can build together.
