April brings a special occasion – Sikh Heritage

April brings a special occasion – Sikh Heritage Month in British Columbia. Since 2017, April has been marked as Sikh Heritage Month in BC to honour the invaluable contributions Sikhs have made to our province over the last century. Indeed it is a time when communities unite to celebrate the contributions of Sikh Canadians to our province’s cultural, social, and economic landscape.

Despite being met with discrimination and racism, they have built flourishing communities. Sikhs have contributed to the growth of our province and established cultural landmarks, like North America’s first gurdwara.

Read about Sikh Heritage Month and how you can participate in our latest blog post: https://newtobc.ca/news-and-events/blog/sikh-heritage-month-in-british-columbia/
