SURREY, BC – For the second time, Hardeep Singh Nijjar has been acclaimed as the President of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Society.
An open nomination process produced no opposing slates, demonstrating strong support for the agenda and community-based efforts already underway, according to Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Society president Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
“Our executive has undertaken local programming in close consultation with the local Sikh community, and to have our slate acclaimed for the second time shows that we are on the right track,” said Nijjar. “This kind of endorsement for the direction that has been established provides a clear path forward for our leadership team.”
Some of the ongoing projects the Society is engaged in include:
· The continued construction expansion of facilities for religious education for children;
· First Gurdwara-run pre-school on the campus in last 40 years;
· The establishment of a new transportation Van and due diligence program for Sri Guru Granth Sahib;
· Public campaign and education against racialized hate and violence;
The executive will continue to serve as a voice of calm, reason and fairness in domestic and global matters related to Sikhs, as has been demonstrated many times by Mr. Nijjar over the years.
Further collaborations with other community groups and cultural communities, as was done in the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Society, fully funded helicopter relief efforts during the 2021 BC floods.
The renewed support of our executive members will prompt an expansion of efforts to improve the local community and people’s fortunes worldwide, explains Nijjar.
“We will aggressively pursue further growth for the positive footprint we have already created. This is just the start.”
