Sikhs in Bradford came together on Saturday to mark Vaisakhi, also known as Khalsa Day with a flag raising.
April is celebrated as Sikh Heritage Month given its importance for Sikhs, as it is in April that Sikh Canadians celebrate Vaisakhi, which marks the formalization of the Khalsa and the Sikh articles of faith.
Sikh Heritage Month is an opportunity to remember, celebrate and educate our future generations and society at large about Sikh Canadians and the important role they play in our community.
Bradford Mayor James Leduc said that the "fundamental strength of our community lies in our unique racial and ethno-cultural diversity."
Dozens of people attended the public event at the Court House Courtyard.
