VICTORIA (April 1, 2022) – BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon released the following statement today for Sikh Heritage Month:
“April is Sikh Heritage Month, an important opportunity to celebrate Sikh heritage and recognize the wonderful contributions that Sikh culture and Sikh British Columbians have made to our province.
“This month serves as an annual celebration of the important role Sikh Canadians have played in shaping British Columbia’s past, present, and future at both the local community level and province-wide.
“The Sikh community continues to be an inspiration to many, often leading the way in helping support some of our province’s most vulnerable through charitable contributions, running support programs, and fundraising for worthy causes. This was incredibly apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic and the historic flooding in southwest B.C. last November where we saw gurdwaras and many Sikh organizations band together to help their local communities.
“On behalf of the BC Liberal team, I want to wish the entire Sikh community a happy Sikh Heritage Month and thank all of the Sikhs who continue to contribute to our province’s rich culture, community, economy, and society.”
