“Today, Sikh and Punjabi communities in Alberta and around the world mark Vaisakhi, one of the most significant days in the Sikh calendar, celebrating both the founding of the Khalsa and the spring harvest.
“In honour of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Guru, Vaisakhi is celebrated through acts of seva – selfless service to others without expectation of reward, a pillar of the Sikh faith.
“To all those observing Vaisakhi, I wish you a joyful celebration and a meaningful Sikh Heritage Month, marked by pride in your faith, culture and contributions to our province.
“Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.”
