April is Sikh Heritage Month.
The month is an important opportunity to reflect on the contributions Sikh people have made to our province and country, and will continue to make as we build a stronger and more inclusive society.
Proclaimed by Parliament on April 30, 2019, this month recognizes and highlights the important contributions that Sikh people and communities have made and continue to make to Canada’s social, economic, political, and cultural heritage.
Canada is home to the largest Sikh population outside of India with 771,790 Sikh Canadians as of the 2021 Census. Sikh people have been calling Alberta home since the early 1900s and have helped build the province we know and love today. The province has one of the largest populations of Sikh people in the country.
