 Waheguru Jigya Kalsa Waheguru Jigya Fateh Hello everyone, bonjour à tous and Happy Vesaki. Today, millions of people in Canada and around the world mark Vesaki. The holiest day in the Sikh calendar, Vesaki is a moment to celebrate the creation of the kalsa by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It's a time to come together with family and friends at Kadwaras and Kalsa Day celebrations. And it's a time to recognize the values at the heart of Sikhism. Just like equality, community, generosity, honesty and savor, self-respect service to others. April is also the month of the Sikh heritage, during which the Canadians unite to celebrate the Sikh community for all the contributions it brings to our country. Canada is proud to welcome one of the largest Sikh populations in the world. And no matter where we are in Canada, the Sikh Canadians are one of our communities of the best places to live. They have fond memories of visiting Vesaki celebrations in Toronto and Vancouver and celebrating with the Sikh community on the hill here in Ottawa. We all long for more in-person events. And as restrictions begin to ease across the country, I share your excitement in spending more holidays and celebrations together. De ma famille à la vôtre, ce fier et moins vous souhaitons à vous et à vos proches un Vesaki rempli de bonheur et de joie en toute sécurité. Waheguru Jigha Kalsa, Waheguru Jighi Fateh.
