Sidak Leadership Retreat
The Sikh Research Institute is getting ready for its annual Sidak Leadership Retreat. We invite you to spend two weeks with us this summer in beautiful British Columbia as we immerse ourselves into Sikh culture, language, values and community! It will take place from July 24th to August 6th in Mission, BC.
You have the choice of Sikhi 101, Sikhi 201, or Gurbani 101. It is important for us to make Sidak as accommodating as possible; Sidak is made available for young families by providing a Jr. Sidak experience to children from the ages of 2 to 8 years of age. For detailed information on each of the tracks, and Jr. Sidak please visit the Sidak webpage at SikhRI.org/sidak/. To apply for a track please visit https://sikhri.org/sidak/application/.
For information about the location please visit the campsite link at khalsacentre.ca. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Sidak Coordinator, Gugan Kaur at your earliest convenience. We hope to see you in July!
