It is an opportunity to remind, celebrate and educate future generations about Sikh Canadians, and the important role they have played and continue to play in our community and across the country.

An important month for the Sikh community, April marks the creation of the Khalsa and the Sikh articles of faith. Many Sikh Canadians widely celebrated Vaisakhi, also known as Khalsa Day, on Saturday, April 14, 2018.
