Sikh Heritage Month

Join us in celebrating the fifth anniversary of Sikh Heritage Month in British Columbia. Sikh Heritage Month is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Sikh Canadians to the social, economic and cultural fabric of BC. All events are open to the public, and aimed at increasing awareness and building intercultural relationships. Sikh Heritage Month BC celebrates its fifth anniversary with a series of events and awards aimed at recognizing and celebrating the unique contributions of Sikh Canadians. The theme for Sikh Heritage Month 2022 is “Sat Sri Akaal”. Though this phrase is commonly recognized as a greeting used amongst members of the Sikh and Punjabi community, few stop to think about the origin of the phrase and the true meaning behind it. This year, SHBC will explore the concept of “Sat Sri Akaal” through a series of in-person and virtual events aimed at encouraging intercultural dialogue and spreading awareness about the contributions Sikh Canadians have made to the province of British Columbia.
