KHALSA
DAY CELEBRATIONS
May 16, 2008 |
| |
This years Nagar Kirtan celebrations in downtown Toronto attracted
the biggest participation since 1999 when the 300th Anniversary
of the Khalsa was celebrated. The GGSCF was involved in two events
on that day. Firstly, 3000 lbs of food was collected for the Daily
Bread Food Bank. Also, most of the effort was spent on the buses
or transportation arrangements for the event. In total the GGSCF
managed 85 buses that brought over 8000 people from 17 different
pick up points ranging from Burlington to Oshawa. In addition, the
out of town buses from Barrie and Hamilton were also coordinated.
This year we were successful in reducing significantly the "pushing
and crushing" experienced in previous years and also having
a timely service out of City Hall. For the first time for several
years the "bus" situation was not picked up by the Punjabi
media as being a disaster in terms of service, in particular to
those with children and the elderly.
