On
Saturday April 14th, group of youth from the Guru Gobind Singh
Children's Foundation represented the Foundation at a Vaisakhi
Gala held in downtown Toronto. The Canadian Centennial Foundation
honoured Sikh heritage in Canada by recognizing highly acclaimed
individuals in the Sikh community. Some of those honoured there
included: Waris Singh, a famous fashion designer from the states;
Valerie Kaur, creator of the acclaimed documentary "Divided
We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath"; Bicky Singh, president
of sikhpoint.com; and Dr. Sheela Basrur, Ontario's own Chief Medical
Officer of Health. Also there was the GGGSCF’s very own
star athlete - 96 year-old marathon runner and world-record holder
Fauja Singh. We would like to extend a thank you to the Centennial
Foundation for allowing the GGSCF to set up a booth at the event.
