CALGARY A Stampede breakfast was served up this morning with a twist. The Hindu Society of Calgary organized a drive-thru breakfast event on Saturday. Unlike the rest of the breakfasts around town, this one was entirely vegetarian. The two-hour event served approximately 1,500 people – about three times as many people as last year when the event was scaled back due to the pandemic. “This is the only vegetarian Stampede breakfast,” said Navdeep Mahendru, president of The Hindu Society of Calgary. “People are so happy,” he added. “People are always encouraging us to do this.”

A food bank and little free library outside a Hindu temple in northeast Calgary that was meant to help people struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic has been sawed down but there s confusion over whether it was vandalism or a deliberate move by temple management.
Raksh Joshi, president of the Hindu Society of Calgary, told CBC News on Wednesday that the supporting legs of the wooden boxes for the food bank and free library were cut off and the structures left pushed over on the snow outside the temple, which stands in an industrial area in Vista Heights.
