“Eight lakh Sikhs call Canada their home. We have the largest Sikh diaspora, with roots of the first Sikh in Canada dating back to the 1800s,” said Punjab-origin MP from Brampton West, Kamal Khera. She represents Canada’s ruling Liberal party.

Mayor of Brampton, Patrick Brown, said, “We celebrate 10 years of Sikh Heritage Month in Ontario this year.” Another MP Francesco Sorbara said, “During this month, we recognise contributions to our country by Canadian Sikhs.”— IANS
