SURREY – Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society (PICS) announced that Canada’s Minister of National Defence, Honourable Harjit Singh Sajjan will be the keynote speaker at The Black Tie Affair, an upcoming gala event to support PICS Diversity Village.
PICS Diversity Village is an urgently needed senior care home based on the latest state-of-the-art model of care. The home will deliver customized services for each patient, respecting their culture and lifestyle and giving them a home away from home.
“We are very excited to have Minister Harjit Singh Sajjan join us as our keynote speaker as we move forward to raise funds for PICS Diversity Village. Despite his busy schedule, the Minister has agreed to support this cause and this clearly demonstrates his commitment towards the community and his strong belief in the concept of seva (service to humankind),” said PICS CEO Dr. Charan Gill.
“I’m honoured to be able to support PICS Diversity Village and their commitment to ensure seniors receive the social, cultural and medical care they need. Please join me at this event, as we celebrate the diversity of our community while raising funds to help PICS fulfill their important mandate,” said Sajjan.
The Black Tie Affair will be an elegant evening featuring fine dining, a cocktail reception, live entertainment as well as a unique silent and live auction, and will be held at Aria Banquet and Convention Centre, 12350 Pattullo Place, Surrey, BC, on February 27, 2016.
“I strongly urge the community to be a part of this evening to support this seniors home, so that we can truly make a difference in the lives of those we love,” said Dr. Gill.
