We are thankful to the @CityofVancouver staff and council for their on-going support which helped ensure we had a successful Vancouver Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan 2026.
We had some rain, but it did not dampen the rising spirits (chardi-kala) of the sangat and participants. 🙏🏽

Today in the council chamber we proclaimed Sikh Heritage Month in the City of Vancouver, ahead of the Vaisakhi Parade and Festival later this month.
The Vancouver Khalsa Diwan Society was created in 1906 and through its leadership Sikhs built their first permanent temple or gurdwara (“gateway to the guru”) two years later. @kdsross

We are deeply saddened by the violent attack on the Filipino community during Lapu-Lapu Day.
Khalsa Diwan Society stands in solidarity with the Filipino community. We mourn the lives lost, wish healing to the injured, and offer our full support in this time of grief.

During Sikh Heritage Month & Khalsa Sanja Diwas - a time for celebration & unity - it is sad to see that elements of extremism continue to rear their ugly heads.
Read our press release on the heels of a disturbing act, by cowardly people. Let's stand united against fanaticism🙏🏽

we recognize that South Vancouver has not received its fair share of community amenities for decades and we are committed to levelling the playing field - no pun intended.

This is how much support we have in #SouthVan for a turf field:
- letters from more than a dozen organizations
- Support from elected representatives at all levels @HarjitSajjan
- Hundreds of surveys completed thru @ParkBoard
The opposition: 'But South asians like cricket' 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

On behalf of the numerous #SouthVan residents & community leaders, today I submitted my formal objection to the BC Commission’s Report, which intends to sever the Sunset neighbourhood from Vancouver South.
Let’s keep the community pillars of @punjabimarket & @kdsross united.

Happy #Vaisakhi everyone! Vaisakhi is a spring harvest festival and one of the holiest holidays in the Sikh faith. It is recognized as the day Khalsa was formed more than 300 years ago. #VaisakhiVancouver #Vaisakhi2022 @VancouverPD @kdsross
