Punjabi Mutiyaaran Women’s Society Hosts Successful Community Resource Fair, Launches
New Women’s Hygiene & Wellness
Campaign
The Punjabi Mutiyaaran Women’s Society successfully hosted a Community Resource Fair at the Khalsa Diwan Society, bringing important services and information directly to the community. The event was a strong success, with many attendees taking the opportunity to learn about wills and power of attorney, legal supports, financial resources, business development, and settlement services. Key organizations such as Archway Community Services, Community Futures, and South Asian Legal Services participated and provided valuable guidance to families, seniors, women, and newcomers.
During the fair, we also launched our new Women’s Hygiene & Well-
ness Campaign, focused on supporting women and girls who face barriers in accessing menstrual hygiene products and wellness education. Along with this initiative, we announced our new partnership with Global Girl Power, an organization dedicated to empowering women and girls worldwide. Together, we will work on future wellness camps and programs aimed at strengthening women’s health and dignity both locally and internationally.
Overall, the event demonstrated the strong need for accessible, culturally safe services and highlighted the power of community collaboration in creating meaningful support for families and women.

2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid – Fuel Efficient and Value for Money!
Review by Veeno Dewan.
The 2026 Hyundai Sonata is the brands mid-size four door sedan, now in its seventh generation. Immensely popular, this sleek, streamlined version is a great looking car with a luxurious cabin, and excellent levels of technology and standard equipment. The Sonata underwent a substantial makeover in 2024 and carries over into 2026 with both a new hybrid variant (HEV) or the traditional gas-powered sedan in either Front- or All-Wheel drive. New convenience features include remote parking and remote locking/unlocking via an Android or Apple iOS smartphone or smartwatch.
The 2026 Hyundai Sonata model comes in 3 trim levels with a returning 192 horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder gas engine mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. In addition to the 2.5L unit, the performance N Line version is uprated with a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 290 horsepower paired with an 8-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox The 2.0L gas-electric HEV continues for 2026 with Front-Wheel Drive only. The 2026 Sonata gasoline only sedan is available in 3 trim levels ranging from $36,099 to $40,699. The top tier N Line performance version is priced
at $40,699. The Sonata HEV is priced between $36,199 to $38,274 based upon the model chosen.
We tested the Preferred Hybrid version (HEV) with a 2.0L Atkinson cycle inline four-cylinder engine paired with a 39 kW (51 hp) permanent magnet high-power density electric motor. The battery is a high-capacity Lithium -Ion unit. The combined system is rated at 193 hp with 151lb-ft of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. Feature wise- as with all Hyundai’s, the Sonata comes superbly equipped in standard form with: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 12.3 Touchscreen infotainment System, Blue Link connection, Dual zone automatic climate control, Heated steering wheel and heated front seats. The Preferred model as tested adds niceties such as: LED lighting, leather seating surfaces, and heated and ventilated front seats plus more.
A full range of safety features on the Hyundai Sonata Preferred HEV include 9 Airbags, Standard anticollision System, Standard Lane departure warning, and Standard hill holder. There is also: blind spot collision avoidance assist, Driver attention warning, Forward collision avoidance
assist. Lane keeping assist system and Adaptive cruise control with Stop-andGo function.
In terms of the interior, the coolest feature is that slick, curved digital dash display with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The refined level of design carries over with a new interior “floating” theme with ambient lighting. Overall fit, finish and materials are particularly good. The open, airy feel to the cabin is offset by the comfortable seats and generous occupant space front and rear. The rear trunk of the Sonata HEV offers 441 litres of cargo space; the same as the standard gasolinepowered version and is respectable for its class, The rear seats also split and fold 60/40 for additional cargo-carrying flexibility.
On the road, the hybrid Sonata offers an engaging ride with decent off-the-line acceleration even with 192 horsepower. The hybrid system is linked to a self -charging battery and optimises the electric motor in assisting the gasoline engine for most driving situations.
ban and highways driving it is pretty viceless. Acceleration is modest, don’t expect Hyundai N Line type performance! The Sonata is tuned for comfort and refinement rather than out and out sportiness - and that’s one of its greatest strengths. It is easy, enjoyable and relaxing to drive. Negatives are few – competitors have more power and there is no All-Wheel Drive version on the HEV version.
Still, the 2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid achieves an impressive fuel economy of 5.5 L/100 km (City), 4.6 L/100 km (Highway), and 5.0 L/100 km (Combined).
The positives are many for the Sonata, first off is the striking exterior design, comfortable cabin and the incredible value for the money are highlights. Let’s not forget the excellent equipment levels as standard and the Hy-

The ride is comfortable thanks to the implementation of a stiff platform and the Sonata handles potholes smoothly. Meanwhile electric power steering makes the Sonata feels agile with an easy progressive steering feel on the twisties. However, the Sonata is not the sharpest handler in its class, but in ur-
brid’s fuel-economy is very good. The Sonata hybrid is a no- brainer when you look at the overall package – it is cheaper than the competition and does not give much away. It really is one of the best looking, looking sedans out there. Highly recommended for value and quality seeking buyers of all persuasions.
2026 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Preferred - Priced as tested: $36,199 plus options, delivery and taxes. More info at www.hyundai.ca

Applications are being accepted for the 2025-26 Civil Forfeiture Grant program to support organizations dedicated to community safety in British Columbia.
“Community organizations play a crucial role in keeping people in British Columbia safe and this program allows us to support their important initiatives and programming,” said Nina Krieger, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “By taking away the proceeds of crime and putting it into community safety and crime prevention projects, we’re directly targeting organized crime in B.C.”
This year, organizations can submit applications for projects in the following funding streams: crime prevention; gender-based violence; Indigenous healing; and restorative justice.
The civil forfeiture grant program provides one-time funding to support communitybased projects using the proceeds from the civil forfeiture process. In the 2024-25 funding cycle, $7.5 million was provided
to support 166 community projects. Applicants to the grant program will be notified of the results in May 2026.
Funding for this program is made available through the Civil Forfeiture Office. The office was established in 2006 to remove the tools and proceeds of unlawful activity, and redirect them back into programs that support community safety and crime prevention.
Since its inception, more than $93 million in civil forfeiture recoveries have been disbursed as grants. Applications will be accepted until Dec. 15, 2025.
The Civil Forfeiture Office continues to evolve by implementing innovative new tools to identify and forfeit the proceeds of crime, such as unexplained wealth orders. By turning unlawful proceeds into supports for victims and those most at risk, government is addressing the root causes of crime, while disrupting the profit motive for criminal organizations.

Rogers Forum: New name for the home of the Abbotsford Canucks
Rogers becomes naming partner of Rogers Forum, expanding longstanding partnership with the Vancouver Canucks
The home of the 2025 Calder Cup champion Abbotsford Canucks is getting a brand-new name.
Formerly the Abbotsford Centre, the venue is being renamed Rogers Forum as part of a new agreement between the City of Abbotsford, Canucks Sports & Entertainment (CSE) and Rogers Communications.
•
Workers Wanted: Welder & General helper good wages, must speak English, knowledge of Punjabi will be an asset
The renaming represents a significant expansion of the long-standing partnership between Rogers and CSE, reinforcing a shared commitment to delivering world-class entertainment experiences to fans in British Columbia. Through the deal, Rogers will also become the Official Telecommunications Partner of the Abbotsford Canucks.
“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Canucks Sports & Entertainment and bring Rogers Forum to life as a hub for players, fans and families in the Fraser Valley,” said Terrie Tweddle, Chief Brand and Communications Officer, Rogers. “This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to connecting fans in BC to the best experiences - on the ice, on the stage, and in the community.”
Since opening in 2009, Rogers Forum has become the Fraser Valley’s premier sports and entertainment venue. It serves as home to the Abbotsford Canucks, youth and adult recreational hockey leagues, and has hosted major concerts and special events including Cirque du Soleil, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Jerry Seinfeld and Sesame Street.
“Since 2021, our partnership with Canucks Sports and Entertainment has fostered strong community connections and economic benefits for Abbotsford,” said Ross Siemens, Mayor, City of Abbotsford. “We are proud to have Rogers joining the Abbotsford team as naming partner, and excited to continue attending shows and cheering on the Abbotsford Canucks at Rogers Forum.”
The naming of Rogers Forum builds on the more than decade-long partnership between Rogers and the Vancouver Canucks, which also includes media and broadcast rights with Sportsnet, and initiatives that support youth hockey in the community through various campaigns with Canucks for Kids Fund.
“We’re proud to strengthen our longstanding partnership with Rogers and celebrate this next chapter for the City of Abbotsford,” said Michael Doyle, President, Canucks Sports & Entertainment, Business Operations. “Rogers Forum has become a true gathering place for the Fraser Valley, a space where our community comes together to cheer, connect, and celebrate. Alongside the City and Rogers, we’re excited to continue growing the venue’s impact as a vibrant hub for sports, live entertainment, and unforgettable experiences."
Fans can expect updated signage, enhanced fan experiences, and exciting community-driven events under the Rogers Forum banner.

Guru Teg Bahadur Ji’s Martyrdom: The Real Message And The Efforts to Obscure It
Karminder Singh Dhillon, Phd.
The motivation for the supreme martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, his message for the entirety of mankind, and the philosophical underpinnings of the unprecedented sacrifice are found within the writings of the ninth Guru as found within the Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS). This has however, not stopped a whole gamut of individuals, institutions and the ruling elite from making efforts to obscure, corrupt or hijack the truth of the event, its motivation and its philosophical foundations for a whole host of reasons. Four sources of such efforts are identified in this brief essay. The earliest attempts at such corruption can be discerned from within the classical Sikh historical literature, which forms the first source. The second source is Sikh clergy, institutions, intellectuals and leadership that propagate the corrupted narratives unthinkingly and un-critically; failing to apply the touchstone of Gurbani in their analysis. The third source comprises the Hindutva led movements within India whose primary aim the cooption of Sikhi and Sikh Gurus. The general population of Sikh masses – large proportions of whom have broken away from reading, critical thought and the ability to analyze information objectively and form reasoned judgments cannot be without blame; and hence comprise the fourth source.
The Sikh world generally accepts Chandar Sain Sainapat’s account of the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur in Sri Guru Sobha Granth (1711 AD) as the earliest attribution towards the motivation and philosophical underpinnings of the event. Counted as a contemporary of the tenth Guru, his attribution is captured herein:
Teg Hi Bahadur Jug Chador Sabh Tuhi(n) Hai. (Chap 2, 5:56); and again herein:
Pargatt Bhaye Gur Teg Bhadur. Sagal Srishtt Paiy Jaki Chador. (Chap. 1:14). His use of the word Chador points to a poetic depiction of the concepts of “protection, defence, cover and shield.” His use of the words Jug Chador and Srishtt Ki Chador illustrates Sainapat’s belief that a universal objective was the philosophical underpinning of the event. His choice of words further points towards the defense of humanity and protection of mankind as a whole being the philosophical foundation and message of the martyrdom.
As will be argued later in this essay, Sainapat’s account is in line with the writings of the ninth Guru pertaining to humanity, mankind and universality as found within the Sri Guru Granth Sahib (SGGS). He appears to have been aware of the ninth Guru’s bani.
Guru Teg Bahadur ji was put to death – by the order of then Emperor Aurangzeb – in the public square of Chandni Chowk, Delhi on the 11th of November 1675. The ninth Guru thus became the second of the two Guru martyrs in the Sikh faith. The first was Guru Arjun ji. In 1670 Emperor Aurangzeb announced his policy of Ek Mazhab – or one religion. The foundational justification of this policy was that the only way to have peace and unity was for everyone to profess just one religion. Aurangzeb had decreed the destruction of all places of worship and education belonging to faiths other that the one he subscribed to. He further ordered the discontinuance of all customs, rituals and practices that contravened his Ek Mazhab dictate.
In the mind of Guru Teg Bahadur, the notion of a single mazhab was antithesis to the foundational principle of nature – which was diversity. This principle of diversity was a foundational belief of Guru Nanak’s Sikhi as
encapsulated in the verse on page 385 of the SGGS:
Eyk Bageecha Peyd Ghan Kariya. Amrit Nam Tha Meh Faliya.
Translation: The Orchard – meaning Humanity – is One, But the Vegetation Within it – meaning the people – is Diverse Aplenty. It is Within Such Kind of a Diverse Creation That Divinity Comes to Fruition.
Here is yet another verse on page 1056 that says that diversity was the foundational tenet of creation.
Mairaiy Prabh Sachaiy Ek Kheyl Rchaya. Koye Na Kis Hee Jeha Upaya.
Translation: The Creation Of My Master Lord Is Such: No Entity Is Created Like The Other. Guru Teg Bahadur thus decided, on his own accord, and according to his own humanist convictions, to take a stand on the issue in a very public way. He went to Aurangzeb on his own, to send a message to Aurangzeb that his One Mazhab dictate was unacceptable. That Aurangzeb would stand by his narrow, extremist and intolerant beliefs and resort to tortures and death was known to Guru Teg Bahadur.
An ultimate martyrdom thus became necessary to convey an ultimate message to humanity at large that defending the right to one’s beliefs was an unassailable right. And for such a stand and message he laid down his life.
The Sikh world celebrates the 350th anniversary of the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur ji on the 24th of November 2025. It’s a timely occasion for us to ask if we have understood and presented the true reasons for the martyrdom of our beloved Guru in the real and accurate sense. It’s a timely occasion to pledge to stop unthinkingly presenting the martyrdom in a way that reduces its significance and narrows its importance. The narrative of the Guru
laying down his life for one particular religion its two particular symbols is akin to encapsulating the depths of an ocean into a tea-cup. It’s an attempt to fit the heights of a mountain into a wheelbarrow. Any particular religion, belief or symbol was inherently irrelevant. What was relevant was standing up for the oppressed – no matter their faith and beliefs. What was relevant was to stand up even when faced with certain tyranny and death. And that Guru Teg Bahadur ji stood up on his own, not at the behest of any number people in a concocted number from any particular religion. The Sikh world needs to realize that we are reducing Guru Teg Bahadur ji to Hind Dee Chadur, when even to address him as Manukhta Dee Chadur or Insaniyat Di Chadur or Sresht Di Chador would be an understatement.
The 350th anniversary is also an occasion to ponder over the real messages that emanate from the supreme sacrifice. Messages that are relevant to Sikhs in particular and humanity in general. It is further an occasion to be aware of the systematic and organized efforts that have been undertaken for the past 264 years and continue unabated even today to obscure the truth of the matter. This essay is an effort towards these two objectives.
MLA Jessie Sunner visits Khalsa Aid Winter Clothing Drive
On Sunday, November 16th, the AMJ Autobody 7951 128th St, in Surrey was the hosting spot for the Winter Clothing Drive held by Khalsa Aid Canada and Legendary Sikh Riders.
This clothing drive was held in remembrance of Mata Gujri Ji and the Chaar Sahibzaade. The Metro Vancouver Khalsa Aid team and the Legendary Sikh Riders requested the community to drop off new & gently used winter clothing & accessories for youth facing adversity in the Lower Mainland. All the donations were arranged to go directly to the youth or to organizations supporting youth in the Lower Mainland. Additionally, donations to support the Panjab Flood relief efforts were collected on site.
MLA Jessie Sunner, Minister of PostSecondary Education and Future Job Skills, stopped by the clothing drive to show support for the incredible efforts of volunteers from Khalsa Aid Canada and the Legendary Sikh Riders. Minister Sunner, who became the MLA for Surrey-Newton in 2024 and previously served as the Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism, has been an active presence in the community. Since taking on their role, they have consistently highlighted and supported meaningful local initiatives, like this clothing drive, that bring people together and make a real difference in Surrey.
Khalsa Aid is a non-profit humanitarian organization which was founded in 1999 and operates under the principle of selfless service, no matter who they are. Legendary Sikh Riders, the partner organization supporting this event is a non-profit motorcycle club known for their charity work and for proudly expressing their Sikh identity on the road.

Affordable ways to stay connected this holiday season
Staying in touch with friends and loved ones is always important, especially during the holiday season. Maintaining connections with those who matter to you, no matter the distance, helps keep the season bright. Here are a couple of ways to make sure you stay connected, without stressing your budget:
There are deals if you look for them. Shopping for a mobile plan can be a lot like buying a car—there are a lot of ways to save beyond the sticker price. Keep your eyes open for seasonal deals and limited-time promotions, and make sure to understand exactly what’s included so you can get the most out of the benefits throughout your plan.
You can also find some out-of-the-box savings: for instance, some retailers, like
The Mobile Shop, allow you to redeem loyalty points towards a new phone purchase to help lower monthly costs. For example, PC Optimum members earn points on their purchases, which can later be used for everyday essentials.
Consider family or shared plans. Many mobile carriers offer discounts for users who bundle services or add additional lines. Different plans have different structures—for instance, some use a shared pool of data while others give each individual their own data plan—so take the time to look through the details to make sure you’re choosing an option that works for you and your family.
By taking some simple steps, you can stay connected more easily while keeping your budget in check.
Roughriders Edge Lions 24–21 in Heartbreaker on Cold Evening in Regina.
On Saturday, November 8th, the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeated the BC Lions 24–21 in a frigid, hard-fought West Final at Mosaic Stadium. The Lions entered Regina as slight underdogs in what was widely expected to be a tight matchup, and the game lived up to that billing from start to finish.
Early on, BC struggled to find rhythm. A few dropped passes and a missed Sean Whyte field goal made it difficult for the Lions to build early momentum, but despite those moments, they carried a 7–3 lead into halftime. While most players downplayed the role of the weather, it was clear conditions affected execution at key moments — something even Riders quarterback Trevor Harris openly acknowledged after the game.
The game began to tilt in Saskatchewan’s favour in the third quarter, as they put together back-to-back scoring drives to go ahead 14–7. But the Lions answered with
resilience. Nathan Rourke connected with Keon Hatcher on a precision strike to tie the game, and moments later, Rourke delivered one of his trademark highlight plays — escaping pressure, keeping the drive alive, and finding the end zone himself to give BC a 21–14 lead. For much of the night, Rourke was nothing short of brilliant. Then came the heartbreak.

ed to drain the clock.
On the other side of the ball, the defense — which played tough for most of the night —
without registering a single sack — a rare and costly stat in such a close contest.
Despite the disappointment, the Lions’ 2025 campaign cannot be defined solely by this loss. The team rebounded impressively from a difficult mid-season stretch, rallied late in the year, and delivered a dramatic West Semi-Final victory over the Calgary Stampeders on a walk-off Sean Whyte field goal. Their surge down the stretch showcased growth, determination, and the emergence of key playmakers.
Dear BC Conservative Party Board,
I am writing to you today as a concerned citizen and a former member of the BC Liberal Party. I have been following the developments within the BC Conservative Party with great interest, and I am compelled to express my deep concern about the current state of the party and the leadership of John Rustad.
As you are aware, the BC Conservative Party has been struggling to gain traction in recent year. Despite the best efforts of many dedicated members and supporters, the party has been unable to capitalize on the opportunities that have arisen. In my opinion, this is largely due to the lack oT effective leadership from John Rustad. His inability to provide a clear vision, to inspire and motivate the party’s base, and to make tough decisions when necessary has led to a lack of confidence in his ability to lead the party to success.
I want to make it clear that I do not know John Rustad personally and have nothing against him as an individual. My concerns are solely based on his performance as the leader of the BC Conservative Party and the impact it has had on the party’s prospects. I believe that it is essential to separate personal feelings from the issues at hand and to focus on what is best for the party.
One of the most significant concerns I have about John Rustad’s leadership is the lack of

support from within the party. Many of his own MLAs, membership, and staff have expressed dissatisfaction with his leadership, and some have even publicly spoken out against him. This is a clear indication that John Rustad does not have the support of the party, and it is unlikely that he will be able to unite the party behind him.
Furthermore, the recent leadership membership review scandal has raised serious questions about John Rustad’s ability to lead the party with integrity. The fact that this scandal has occurred under his watch is a clear indication that he is not capable of providing the strong and ethical leadership that the party needs. The review process was supposed to be a fair and transparent way of evaluating the party’s leadership, but it has been marred by controversy and allegations of bias. This has further eroded the trust that many members and supporters have in John Rustad’s leadership.
I would also like to remind the board that Kevin Falcon made a significant sacrifice by merging his party with the Conservatives to form a unified government. However, under John Rustad’s leadership, it appears that this sacrifice has been in vain. John Rustad’s inability to capitalize on this opportunity and provide effective leadership has put the party’s chances of forming a government at risk. Kevin Falcon’s decision to merge his party with the Conservatives was seen as a
bold move, and it was expected that it would bring a new level of excitement and energy to the party. However, under John Rustad’s leadership, the party has failed to build on this momentum, and it has instead become mired in controversy and infighting.
But my concerns go beyond just the party’s internal issues. As a citizen of British Columbia, I am deeply troubled by the state of our province. The current government has failed to address the pressing issues that are affecting our communities, and many British Columbians are struggling to make ends meet. The cost of living is too high, the healthcare system is in crisis, and our education system is in need of reform. The people of BC are in crisis, and they deserve stronger leadership that can provide real solutions to these problems.
That is why I believe that it is imperative that we change the government in BC. The current government has had its chance to address these issues, and it has failed. It is time for a new government that is led by a strong and effective leader who can provide a clear vision for the future and make the tough decisions necessary to get our province back on track.
In my opinion, John Rustad is not that leader. \/ Vith so much opposition from within the party, it is clear that he does not have the support or the leadership skills required to succeed in this role. As the leader of the party, John Rus-
Still, this one stings — a season ending just seconds short of another Grey Cup appearance. Saskatchewan now advances to face the Montreal Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup, while the Lions head into the offseason with both frustration and optimism. The progress made this year was significant, but Saturday’s final moments will linger.
tad should be able to unite the party behind him and provide a clear vision for the future. However, he has been unable to do so, and it is time for the party to consider a change in leadership.
I urge the board to consider the fact that John Rustad’s continued leadership is not in the best interest of the party or the people of BC. I believe that he should put aside his own needs and wants and prioritize the party’s success and the well-being of our province. The best course of action would be for John Rustad to stay on as leader until a new leader is chosen in the next few months. This would provide a smooth transition and allow the party to regroup and refocus under new leadership.
I hope that this information is helpful, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Full Moon this week occurs in your sign. If there is any time to be noticed for something, it is now. The position you might want to take when it comes to any situation will be made quite clear by you. This won’t necessarily fit in with what others might want or expect, generating the need for them to reconsider.
You could suddenly begin to realise that somebody else isn’t planning to be as agreeable as you have presumed. This may make you wonder about exactly what might be building up behind the scenes that might prove difficult. Focus on what gives you greatest enjoyment and any decisions you need to make in these directions.
Something you have been putting your energy into over the last 2 weeks might now require some rethinking, especially if you feel certain obligations take up too much of your time and might be better dropped. Look at this as a first stage up to late October. Developing greater personal freedom in the long term will be important.
There can be much to enjoy this week though there will be other situations that will provide some challenges. You need to be creative with thinking or decision making to late October, especially if you are being put under pressure when it comes to the expectations of somebody else. Your focus will be to bring something to an end.
What is possible in the long term could become clearer, making you realise that what once seemed important might need to be rethought. This could be as a result of what someone else now wants or expects. You must not put your wishes to one side as there is the opportunity to fulfil those eventually, even if it is not obvious right now. Don’t hesitate to either challenge or bring something to an end with somebody else if this will generate greater peace, balance or harmony to you on a personal level. This could bring some surprising things to the surface that you didn’t expect, making it necessary to rethink, to late September, the decisions you should make.
Your focus will move to finances to late September and this can have some sort of new beginnings attached, though this is a first stage. There could be final details you need to sort out so that you will be in a good position to handle any increase in responsibilities. The true position of somebody else could become more obvious.
You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.
Somebody else could become surprisingly generous, which you might find hard to trust. When it comes to any definite decision making you need to take your time to late September. Matters will require careful contemplation especially in any situations where you need to scale back obligations rather than take new ones on.
Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.
You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.
Interactions with other people can be pleasant on one hand but challenging on another when it comes to any situation where personal commitment from you is expected. What should be aimed for in the long term can be communicated to late September, though this is a first stage. Winding things up is part of the process.

Government MLA’s Present Hindu Heritage Proclamation
On Sunday, November 7, 2025, at the Taj Park Convention Centre in Surrey, KVP Heritage hosted the inaugural celebration of Hindu Heritage month.
Earlier this month, Amna Shah, Parliamentary Secretary for anti-racism released a statement on Hindu Heritage month.
““This November, we are proud and excited to celebrate the first Hindu Heritage Month in British Columbia. This is a historic milestone and a meaningful opportunity to honour the
vibrant traditions, rich history, and enduring contributions of Hindu communities throughout our province. While we celebrate, we also recognize that discrimination and racism continue to affect many communities, including those of Hindu faith. Acts of vandalism against temples, prejudice toward religious garments and symbols, and hateful rhetoric are unacceptable. Our government remains committed to eliminating all forms of racism through initiatives such as the Racist Incident Helpline, the annual multiculturalism
and anti-racism grants, and the historic Anti-Racism Act.
Happy Hindu Heritage Month and congratulations to all who made this inaugural celebration possible.”
The event, hosted by KVP Heritage was attended by community leaders, and local MLAs and British Columbia’s Premier David Eby.
Attendees enjoyed captivating performances from local artists who showcased their talents through
Kathak, Bharatnatyam, sitar music, and bhangra.
MLA Amna Shah, MLA Jessie Sunner, MLA Garry Begg, MLA Rohini Arora, MLA Sunita Dhir and MLA Raj Chouhan and Premier David Eby presented the proclamation to the organizer Kamal Sharma. The proclamation serves to recognize the deep roots and significant contributions of Hindu communities across the province.
B.C. helps farms with solutions for water storage
Farmers and communities throughout B.C. are becoming better equipped for drought with ongoing support to help improve their management, delivery and storage of water for agricultural purposes.
“With a changing climate, drought is an ongoing concern to the success of our agricultural communities,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture and Food. “That’s why we’re continuing to help B.C.’s farmers and ranchers access water with new and improved equipment, storage facilities and other technologies that keep crops growing and producing the food we all rely on and enjoy.”
The Agriculture Water Infrastructure Program is opening its next round of applications for eligible farmers and communities, to support and improve water availability, storage, efficiency and sustainability. These projects will help support food security and produc-
tion, while benefiting stream flows and aquatic ecosystems. The program is administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. (IAF).
One such project is underway with the Douglas Lake Cattle Company, which is increasing the long-term water supply on its historic Gang Ranch in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The heavy-duty construction of water-storage infrastructure is expected to result in an additional 400 hectares of land returning to agricultural production.
“Thanks to funding support from the B.C. government’s Agriculture Water Infrastructure Program, we’ve been able to significantly improve our water-storage capacity in an area that is both water-scarce and droughtprone,” said Phil Braig, general manager, Douglas Lake Cattle Company.
“These much-needed upgrades have allowed us to meet B.C. dam-safety regulation requirements and ensure a
reliable, long-term water supply for our livestock and operations.”
Independent producers and farmers, such as Little Valley Farms, a family farm in Vanderhoof operated by Ken and Carol Fawcett with their four adult daughters, are also receiving support to upgrade their water infrastructure.
“Our operation spans generations, and with that kind of history, you want to plan for the future, which the Agriculture Water Infrastructure Program has allowed us to do, bringing sustainability to our production,” said Ken Fawcett, owner of Little Valley Farms. “In the past 20 years, we’ve experienced nine droughts, forcing us to reduce herd numbers and lose production, but with this program we’re able to take steps to improve access to water for our crops and our livestock, safeguarding our operation.”
The City of Delta will be constructing a second irrigation intake from the Fraser River and upgrading culverts along 72 Street to increase capacity to irrigation systems, carrying more water to farms and increasing production in an area famous for the quality of its soil.
“Delta is grateful for the funding from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the support of the IAF,” said George Harvie, mayor of Delta. “Through the Agriculture Water Infrastructure Program, we have been able to make critical upgrades to the irrigation water-conveyance system our farmers rely on. These improvements help protect crops during dry summer months, build resilience to drought and strengthen the long-term sustainability of Delta’s agricultural community.”
The current intake for applications will be open from Tuesday, Nov. 18, until Dec. 18, 2025.
Facilities Bargaining Association and Health Employers Association of BC reach tentative agreement
The Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) has reached a tentative agreement with members of the Facilities Bargaining Association (FBA).
The parties reached a tentative agreement based on a framework settled in August that was negotiated under an enhanced mandate and includes additional wage comparability increases linked to low-wage redress. The enhanced mandate is in response to the impacts the FBA members continue to face as a result of unilateral 15% wage cuts imposed on them in 2004.
Since 2014, public-sector bargaining mandates have allowed for enhanced mandates to address unique challenges threatening critical-service delivery at specific tables. This has included the low-wage redress mandates in the community health and community social services sectors. In addition to the low-wage redress mandates, government extended enhanced mandates in this round to the FBA and the BCGEU Main Agreement in response to the increasing affordability and labour market pressures facing those tables.
As outlined in the framework agreement details, the tentative includes a
commitment from government to a concrete plan to provide greater consistency of care for seniors in long-term care and assisted living, including greater wage and benefit equity for unionized employees. Government committed in July 2024 to use some of the increased health-care funding from Ottawa for this purpose.
Further details about the tentative agreement will be available following the ratification process that will soon be underway.
The FBA represents nine unions and about 67,500 workers, 95% of whom are members of the Hospital
Employees’ Union and 4% of whom are represented by the B.C. General Employees’ Union. Care aide is the largest job classification in this bargaining unit, along with food service workers, cleaners, lab assistants and nursing unit assistants.
Negotiations under the 2025 Balanced Measures Mandate support government’s key priorities to protect and strengthen critical services in B.C.’s public sector, to maintain labour stability in a complex round of bargaining and to support the Province’s efforts to find operational efficiencies that preserve front-line services.
How has snow removal in Canada evolved?
Snow removal has always been part of Canadian life, shaping how neighbours, families and communities face the cold together. Every winter as driveways fill and sidewalks disappear, Canadians once again turn to their shovels and blowers—timeless tools of resilience and routine. Over decades, innovation has made snow clearing faster, easier and safer than ever before.
For much of the country’s history, snow removal was mostly manual— think shovels, horse-drawn plows and early rotary designs, patented as far back as 1869.
Then, in 1925, Québec innovator Arthur Sicard revolutionized snow removal with the first practical snow blower, capable of being mounted to vehicles and moving snow up to 27 metres away.
Over the years, Canadian manufacturers have evolved alongside the country’s changing winter needs. Longstanding companies, such as Garant have introduced new materials and ergonomic designs that reflect ongoing innovation in snow-clearing tools
The arrival of gas-powered snow blowers changed snow removal in many neighbourhoods, offering relief from
long hours of shovelling. Today, snow removal has entered a new era with advances in design that are making winter work quieter and more efficient. Cordless electric snowblowers are easier to use and kinder to both people and the planet.
Yet for all this progress, the essence of snow removal in Canada hasn’t changed. Whether it’s a parent helping a child dig out the car or neighbours shovelling side by
A Canadian tradition: Neighbours helping neighbours clear snow together
Winter can be a test of patience, endurance and community spirit. When the first big snowfall hits, it’s not unusual to see neighbours bundled up and on their street lending a hand to help others clear their driveways, sidewalks and porches. Clearing snow can be more than a chore; it can become an act of kindness that brings neighbours closer as they face the season together.
Shovelling a walkway for a senior or digging out a friend’s car before work are as much a part of Canadian culture as hockey or maple syrup. Across neighbourhoods, snow removal often becomes a shared effort, turning an otherwise cold and tiring task into
something warmer and more meaningful.
Make sure to use proper tools and technique
Many hands may make light work, but clearing snow can still be strenuous. Wherever possible, push snow instead of lifting, to avoid back and shoulder strain. Make sure to take frequent breaks, even short ones, and drink plenty of water—cold weather can dehydrate you just as easily as summer heat can.
By choosing well-made, easy-to-use equipment, you can help your neigh-
bours more safely and efficiently. You can also increase your efficiency with a cordless electric snowblower, like one of Garant’s models, which have heated grips and long-lasting runtimes.
A cleared driveway might seem like a small gesture, but on a freezing winter morning, it can mean a great deal. Snow blankets us in solitude, but clearing it, especially when we do it for others, reminds us that we’re
never truly alone. You can learn more at garant.com.
3 tips for faster, safer snow removal this winter
Snow season in Canada demands preparation, technique and the right tools. Whether you’re tackling a light dusting or a heavy snowfall, these quick tips will help you clear your property faster and more safely this winter.
Start early to stay ahead
Don’t wait until snow piles up. Clearing fresh snow before it compacts or turns to ice makes the job much easier and helps prevent slippery surfaces. Multiple light passes are safer and less
strenuous than battling through heavy, packed snow all at once.
Use the right tools and the right technique
A well-designed, ergonomic shovel or pusher can reduce strain on your back and shoulders. If you have a larger driveway or frequent, heavy snow, a snow blower can make the job more manageable. Some manufacturers, like Garant, now have electric cordless models—part of a shift towards qui-
eter, battery-powered tools for winter maintenance.
When shovelling, it’s important to lift with your legs, push rather than toss when possible and take short breaks to avoid fatigue.
Dress smart and stay hydrated
By layering up in moisture-wicking, breathable clothing, you can keep warm without overheating. Gloves with good grip and waterproof boots
can help you stay comfortable and steady on icy ground. Cold weather can be just as dehydrating as summer heat, so getting plenty of water is very important.
With the right timing, tools and techniques, snow removal doesn’t have to be backbreaking. A little preparation and the right equipment go a long way toward keeping you safe, efficient and ready for whatever winter brings. Learn more at garant.com.
side after a storm, it remains a shared ritual—one that brings Canadians together every winter.
