April marks Sikh Heritage Month. Introduced by MP Sukh Dhaliwal in 2019, the month recognizes the immense contributions that Sikh-Canadians have made to Canadian society, the richness of the Punjabi and Gurmukhi language and culture, and the importance of educating and reflecting upon Sikh heritage for future generations. April is also an important month for the Sikh community. In this month, Sikh Canadians celebrate Vaisakhi, which marks the creation of the Khalsa and the Sikh articles of faith. Sikh Canadians have been at the frontlines of the pandemic helping us get through these unprecedented times. Let’s take time this month to learn more about the Sikh faith and celebrate the incredible achievements of Sikhs in Canada and across the world. Although we may celebrate differently this year, we can still connect virtually to honor the incredible achievements of Sikh communities in Canada that have done so much to make it the culturally diverse, compassionate and prosperous country it is today.
