CELEBRATING DIVERSITY

April is a busy month for all those who observe a variety of religious holidays. During this month, members of Sikh faith celebrate Vaisakhi (April 13th), members of Muslim faith celebrate Ramadan (March 22nd – April 20th), and members who are Catholics are celebrating Easter (April 9th).

This month is also known as Sikh Heritage Month. The government of Canada was the first country to officially recognize Sikh Heritage Month in 2019.

  We wish you all a   Happy Easter

 Happy Ramadan,  Happy Vaisakhi 

   In Solidarity,

Anju Parmar, President
