B.C. parliamentary secretary for anti-racism initiatives Rachna Singh released the following statement on April 1 to mark Sikh Heritage Month: The Sikh community has continued to enrich and strengthen our province since the first Gurdwara opened its doors more than 100 years ago in Vancouver. British Columbia is now home to one of the largest Sikh populations outside of India, and we are grateful for the rich culture and diversity that they bring to this province. April is an important month for Sikhs around the world. For more than 300 years, Sikhs come together to mark the creation of the Khalsa of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, which imparts the values of equality, selfless service, and social justice that are so important to the Sikh community. This month is also a chance to celebrate the harvest and the start of a new agricultural year as part of Vaisakhi, the holiest celebration in Sikh faith.
