Canada: Sikh Flag Raised at Ontario’s Provincial Parliament on Sikh Heritage Month

April 5, 2018 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau

Ontario, Canada: The Provincial Parliament of Ontario in Canada is hosing the Sikh flag these days. The flag is raised in wake of Sikh Heritage Month that is observed in the month of April.

It is notable that in 2013, the Ontario government passed and received royal assent on a bill that officially recognized April as Sikh Heritage Month. Since 2014, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has celebrated Sikh Heritage Month. History was made, in 2015, when the Sikh Community partnered with the Peel Art Gallery Museum & Archives (PAMA) in Brampton to celebrate Sikh Heritage Month through a month long series of exhibits, attracting thousands of attendees.

Each year, Sikh Heritage Month focuses on a central theme, which provides consistency, focus and most importantly direction to the months’ celebrations. This year the theme is “The Spirit of the Sikhs”. Through this centralized theme Sikhs aim to illustrate core aspects of Sikhism and celebrate the accomplishments of Canadian Sikh’s through many different forms of art.
