Canada creates history again by hoisting the Nishan Sahib on Parliament grounds
Sikhs worldwide are known for their values and Canada is no different. The Sikhs migrated to Canada about 150 years ago and today with their hard work and sheer determination have been able to go as far as being cabinet ministers and the defence minister of Canada.
Today’s ceremony is one of the many celebrations for the Sikh Heritage Month kick off that took off yesterday at the Ottawa City Hall.
Sikhs will celebrate the entire month of April as the Heritage month and more exciting events are in the works, for details and updates please follow our Facebook page at ~ https://www.facebook.com/ottawasikhiacademy/
