Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Sangat Ji,
The upcoming week is Shaheedi week. This holds close to our hearts.
A special program will take place at the gurdwara and on Facebook live from December 21st to December 28th. Please make a sincere effort to listen with your children and family to the special evening diwan.
It will bring a tear to the eyes as we hear the extent of the upheaval faced by the beloved Sikhs, Mata Gujar Kaur Ji, Chaar Sahibzaade and Guru Gobind Singh Ji as they left their home, Anandpur Sahib forever..
ਇਨ ਪੁਤਰਨ ਕੇ ਸੀਸ ਪਰ ਵਾਰ ਦੀਏ ਸੁਤ ਚਾਰ, ਚਾਰ ਮੂਏ ਤੋ ਕਿਆ ਹੂਆ ਜੀਵਤ ਕਈ ਹਜਾਰ
In Putran Ke Sees Par Vaar Diye Sut Chaar, Chaar Muye To Kya Hua Jeevat Kayi Hazaar
For the life of my sons (the Khalsa), I have sacrificed my four sons. So what if my four sons died, when thousands live on…

A special thank you to Sahil Arora for putting together the videos for this presentation. Having heard this history last year at Rexdale Gurdwara, he was so deeply touched that it inspired him to spread this history to each household.
Let’s remember what our Shaheeds mean to our livelihood. We are indebted to them. Parnaam Shaheedan Nu!
Year-End Fundraiser:
Only 10 days left to make a tax deductible donation for the year 2021. For every $1 donated, most individuals will get 30% or more back in tax credits. A dollar a day goes a long way! $31, $51, $101; any amount will help to reach our goal of $27,000 to cover the monthly mortgage costs.
We will be ordering following for January:
a roti making machine – cost $11,000
walk in fridge / freezer – cost $24,000
For the Guru that sacrificed everything, a small financial sacrifice by each of us now, will continue to lay down the foundation for a gurdwara to serve us now and into the future. Your support is appreciated.
Covid-19 Protocol:
Gurdwara remains open but vigilance is vital. We are monitoring the Omicron situation closely. Please continue to sanitize / wash hands, log-in, wear masks properly and maintain physical distance at the gurdwara. Stay home if not well. Stay safe and pray for the well being of all!
