That was the same year the residents say they were promised the commemorative park.
But since then, nothing has happened despite meeting after meeting with various government officials and the local developer, said Jagdev Pannu, who is the spokesperson for the residents. It s a pretty bad thing because Komagata Maru is a significant incident of Canadian Sikh history, Pannu said. Five years gone, there s nothing built … Please fulfil your promise.
On a visit to the proposed park area Saturday evening, CBC found a large section of it with the grass cut, but devoid of any park-like environment such as, picnic tables, a playground or even a sign denoting a name. There are few trees.
