Earlier on April 13, the Indian Consulate in Toronto, in association with Virasat-e-Khalsa, celebrated Baisakhi alongside Sikh Heritage Month.
The event brought together an esteemed gathering of leaders and the Indian diaspora in a moment that spoke of the enduring bonds between India and Canada and to the remarkable contribution of the Sikh community.
