. @superfan_nav , as someone we have recognized in the past as an advocate that raises awareness on the 1984 Sikh Genocide, we ask you decline the @Cif_Official1 award. The CIF have been steadfast Sikh Genocide deniers and have a history of being Indian state violence apologists.

Pat Cheung’s turban is a symbol of equality and he wears is proudly as a volunteer with Guru Nanak’s free kitchen. Thousands of Sikhs in Canada serve their communities as doctors, teachers and police service and their turbans are a core part of their Sikh identity. #BattleBill21

WSO condemns the racist vandalism that took place on the road leading up to the Sikh Society of Calgary Gurdwara early Monday morning. This isn't the first time the Gurdwara Sahib was targeted by racist attacks. In 2016 this Gurdwara had swastikas painted on it.
