Ravi Singh led an evening at PAMA in Brampton, Canada, bringing focus to the Panjab flood response, volunteer-led Seva and the community’s continued connection to Sikh heritage.
Khalsa Aid CEO Ravi Singh joined the Brampton community in Canada for a powerful closing night of Sikh Heritage Month, bringing together sangat, families, volunteers and supporters for an evening of reflection, awareness and collective responsibility.
Held at PAMA in Brampton, the event highlighted the richness of Sikh history and culture, while also shedding light on the devastating floods in Panjab and the real impact on affected communities.
During the discussion, Ravi Singh spoke about the Panjab flood response and the vital role of volunteers in supporting families during times of crisis. He reminded attendees that the relief work seen during the floods was made possible through the dedication, compassion and commitment of volunteers on the ground.
He also encouraged respect for volunteers across all organisations, recognising that humanitarian service is carried forward by people who give their time and energy in the spirit of Seva.
The evening created an important space for the community to reflect on Panjab, Sikh heritage and the responsibility of standing in solidarity with those facing hardship. It also brought attention to the ongoing needs of communities impacted by the floods, reinforcing the importance of awareness, support and action.
Alongside the discussion, visitors had the opportunity to view a Panjab floods photo exhibit, which offered a visual insight into the scale of the disaster and the community-led response. The programme also featured the Annual Kirtan Program and Sikh Heritage Month activities.
Attendees also heard from Polar Preet, a British Army officer and adventurer known for her record-breaking solo expedition to the South Pole. Karanbir Badhesha spoke about Khalsa Aid’s Panjab projects, while Dr Abinaash Kaur shared reflections on Sikh youth leadership.
Khalsa Aid is grateful to the Sikh Foundation of Canada for supporting free entry to the event, and to the City of Brampton Experience Brampton Festival Program for its support.
The closing night served as a reminder that Sikh heritage is not only remembered through history and culture. It is also lived through Seva, solidarity and action. Through the continued support of the sangat, Khalsa Aid remains committed to standing with communities affected by disaster, conflict and hardship.
