rom glowing complexions and bold lips to soft metallic eyes and sculpted brows, celebrity beauty looks continue to set the tone for seasonal trends. And while the spotlight may shine in Los Angeles, the influence is felt far beyond—even across the cities, towns, and neighborhoods of Canada.
Whether you’re heading to a wedding, brunch, or simply want to freshen up your look for spring, these award-season beauty trends are surprisingly wearable.
With the right tools (and a bit of flair), recreating red carpet magic at home is easier—and more affordable—than you think.
Glow goals: Radiant skin that shines through Glowing skin dominated the Oscars this year, with stars like Zendaya and Carey Mulligan favoring sheer, dewy finishes over heavy coverage. Think luminous— not glittery—with a “your-skin-butbetter” base.
Start with skin prep: Exfoliate, hydrate, and layer on a brightening serum with vitamin C or
niacinamide. Brands like The Ordinary, and Vancouver-based Graydon Skincare offer budgetfriendly options that work well under makeup.
For foundation, opt for lightweight formulas with a satin or radiant finish. Cream highlighters on the cheekbones and temples add a natural lift. Finish with a spritz of setting spray to lock in that fresh, dewy glow.
Soft eyes with a statement twist While classic smoky eyes never go out of style, this year’s red carpet leaned into softer, smudgier eye makeup in earthy tones and gentle metallics. Shades like champagne, rose gold, and copper make eyes sparkle without overpowering your look.
Use your ring finger to press shimmer onto the center of the lid, or line the eyes with a soft pencil in brown, plum, or even navy. Add a couple coats of lengthening mascara for fluttery lashes, and finish by brushing brows upward for a lifted, feathered shape.
Looking for Canadian beauty brands to try? Lise Watier, Cheekbone Beauty (Indigenousowned), and Bite Beauty all offer eye products that are
pigment-rich and skin-friendly.
Red lips, reinvented Oscars 2025 brought back bold lips in a big way. From crimson and coral to berry and wine, statement lips added drama to otherwise clean makeup. The key to keeping it modern? Pairing bold color with minimal eye makeup and dewy skin.
Start with a lip scrub and balm to ensure a smooth base. Outline your lips with a coordinating pencil, then fill in with a creamy or satin-finish lipstick. Bite Beauty and MAC have iconic red shades suited for every skin tone.
If a full red feels too much, go for a blurred lip: tap color on with your finger and blot the edges for a softer, lived-in effect.
Your everyday Red Carpet moment
Red carpet beauty isn’t about looking like someone else—it’s about expressing your own version of glamour. This spring, take a page from the Oscars playbook and make bold, glowing, confident beauty part of your everyday.
Whether you’re headed to the office, a spring party, or just soaking in some sunshine, you deserve to feel like a star.
HAPPY VAISAKHI
May your celebrations be filled with joy, unity, and prosperity. From Mayor Brenda Locke and Surrey City Council.
As spring tiptoes in, shedding winter’s last frost and bathing the land in golden light, Easter arrives not just as a holiday— but as a feeling. A sense of renewal. Of return. Of beauty in simplicity.
tHE QUIEt BEAUtY of EAStER
CELEBRAtIng WItH PURPoSE, PRESEnCE, AnD UnDERStAtED gRACE
Across Canada, Easter has long marked more than just a date on the liturgical calendar. It’s a time of quiet reflection and heartfelt gathering, when families open their homes, set their tables, and welcome the season’s soft reawakening. Whether celebrated through religious devotion, family traditions, or simply the joy of spring’s arrival, Easter endures because it speaks to something universal: the promise of new beginnings.
Tradition Reimagined
While Easter Sunday may traditionally center around a church service or egg hunt, the modern celebration is evolving. In cities and small towns alike, Canadians are embracing a gentler, more intentional way of observing the day—one that’s rooted in connection, creativity, and seasonal beauty.
In some homes, that means a sunrise walk instead of pews; in others, it’s hosting brunch with multigenerational family. For many, Easter has become less about pageantry and more about presence: slowing down, savoring a meal, and surrounding oneself with
the people—and the spaces—that feel like home.
The Art of the Spring Table Easter is perhaps the most elegant of springtime celebrations, and it all begins with the table. Think linen tablecloths, loosely gathered florals, and a menu that’s as beautiful as it is comforting. No longer bound to traditional ham or roast lamb, today’s Easter spread embraces freshness: herbed quiches, roasted asparagus, lemon-kissed pastries, and softly poached eggs.
Candles flicker beside handpainted eggs and heirloom glassware. Children’s laughter rings through rooms dressed in spring’s soft hues. It’s a domestic symphony—where every detail, from ceramic bunny-shaped butter molds to a single tulip in a bud vase, contributes to a moment that feels both elegant and effortless.
Moments of Meaning
Whether you celebrate Easter as a deeply religious occasion or a cultural tradition, its heartbeat remains the same: hope. In a world that often moves too quickly, Easter offers a pause. A chance to reflect, recharge, and return to what matters most.
Some find solace in spiritual ritual—attending sunrise mass, lighting a candle, or reading scripture. Others create new customs: baking together, planting the season’s first flowers, writing notes of gratitude. There is no singular way to honor the day—only sincerity in how we choose to welcome it.
A Celebration that Belongs to All In a country as diverse as Canada, Easter takes many forms. For some, it overlaps with other spring festivals—like Vaisakhi or Nowruz— each rooted in light, rebirth, and community. In secular households, it may simply be a long weekend to gather, cook, and recharge.
What unites us is not how we celebrate, but that we celebrate: the end of winter, the return of light, and the joy of being together.
This Easter, may our homes feel lighter. Our meals taste brighter. Our traditions, old or new, feel deeply ours.
Because in the end, Easter isn’t just a date—it’s a gentle reminder that even after the longest winter, life begins again.

Spring is the start of running season for many Canadians, with charity 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons popping up across provinces.

A Surrey Police Service’s Community 1st Unit strengthens ties with Surrey food Bank
meaningful collaboration has blossomed between the Surrey Police Service’s Community 1st Unit and the Surrey Food Bank. For over a year, every Thursday during distribution times, officers from the unit have been serving warm cups of Indian chai tea and coffee to food bank recipients, helping foster a sense of community and trust.
The chai is kindly donated by the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, while McDonald’s provides the coffee, through the efforts of the Community 1st Unit. Additionally, the Surrey Crime Prevention Unit contributes by sending volunteers to assist in serving the drinks, creating a true spirit of cooperation and support.
Recipients, volunteers, and staff at the Surrey Food Bank now look forward to the Community 1st Unit’s weekly visits. Officers like Sergeant Dale Quiring, Constable Miriam Michel, and Constable Shannon Ogilvie have become familiar, trusted faces, exemplifying the unit’s dedication to building real, positive relationships within the community.
The Community 1st Unit also participates in the food bank’s food drives and fundraising events, offering support rain or shine. Their consistent involvement showcases their commitment to the well-being of Surrey residents.
By focusing on building trust with groups that have traditionally been wary of the police, the unit listens to all voices in the community, even in difficult situations. Their work at the
food bank highlights a commitment to authentic engagement and collaboration.
This partnership is more than just about sharing warm beverages—it’s about warming hearts, breaking down barriers, and strengthening the bond within Surrey.
V AISA KHI
Each April, as the ground warms and the days grow longer, cities across Canada light up with color, rhythm, and joy for one of the most significant celebrations in the Sikh calendar— Vaisakhi.
Vaisakhi
A celebration of identity, faith and shared community
Though its origins are rooted in Punjab— marking both the spring harvest and the founding of the Khalsa in 1699—Vaisakhi in Canada has evolved into a powerful expression of cultural pride, spiritual devotion, and community service.
Parades of pride and belonging In Surrey, British Columbia, Vaisakhi is not just a celebration—it’s a phenomenon. What began as a modest religious procession has grown into the largest Vaisakhi gathering outside India, drawing over half a million people annually. The Nagar Kirtan (religious parade) fills the
streets with vibrant floats, traditional hymns, martial arts displays, and langar—free vegetarian meals served to all. Strangers sit side by side, sharing food, faith, and fellowship in the heart of the city.
In Brampton, Ontario—home to one of Canada’s largest Sikh populations—the festival blends tradition with innovation. Alongside the spiritual elements, Vaisakhi celebrations here include educational exhibits, youth-led art installations, and multicultural performances. It’s a chance for the younger generation to proudly share their heritage with a wider Canadian audience.
Service at the center
The heart of Vaisakhi lies in seva—selfless service. Across Canada, Sikh communities embrace this value in powerful ways. Gurdwaras open their doors to people of all backgrounds, offering warm meals, conversation, and education about Sikh beliefs centered on equality, justice, and compassion. You’ll find food drives, park clean-ups, and blood donation campaigns woven into the fabric of the festival.
In Calgary, Montreal, and Edmonton, smaller gatherings reflect the same deep commitment to both community and interfaith connection. Vaisakhi
becomes not just a religious observance, but a reflection of Canada’s multicultural harmony.
A time to reflect and celebrate
For many young Sikhs, Vaisakhi is also a time to reflect on identity. It’s a moment to stand tall in a turban, to speak Punjabi proudly, to dance bhangra and giddha with joy, and to tell stories of resilience passed down through generations. It’s about pride—but also about sharing.
And in true Canadian spirit, everyone is welcome. Non-Sikhs are invited to walk in the parades, taste the food, learn about Sikh values, and ask questions. Vaisakhi, at its best, becomes a bridge: between faiths, generations, and communities.
This spring, as blossoms open and daylight stretches, Vaisakhi offers a reminder that renewal isn’t only seasonal—it’s spiritual. In every province, the festival serves as a celebration of service, identity, and shared humanity.

Vaisakhi, celebrated on April 14th, is more than just a religious festival for Sikhs; it is a cultural cornerstone that celebrates the harvest, unity, and spiritual growth. In a multicultural city like Vancouver, this festival takes on an even deeper significance. It brings together families, communities, and individuals from diverse backgrounds, not only to commemorate religious traditions but to foster a sense of belonging and mental well-being. The connection between spirituality, community, and mental health is powerful, especially in today’s fast-paced, often disconnected world.
Spiritual gatherings such as those during Vaisakhi are rooted in centuries-old practices of community support, collective prayer, and reflection. For many, the festival represents an opportunity to reconnect with their faith, traditions, and cultural identity. In the context of mental health, these rituals can offer emotional comfort, reassurance, and a sense of peace. Studies show that spiritual practices, whether religious or secular, can significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Vaisakhi, with its focus on gratitude, renewal, and the celebration of life, offers a perfect platform for fostering emotional well-being.
In Vancouver, a city known for its multiculturalism, Vaisakhi is celebrated not only by Sikhs but also by individuals from various communities who are curious about or appreciate its cultural significance. This inclusivity is particularly important when discussing mental health because it allows people to connect with one another, regardless of background, through shared values of peace, joy, and community support.
The act of coming together during Vaisakhi through parades, prayers, and community meals provides an invaluable sense of belonging. Research highlights that social connection is one of the key factors in improving mental health. It helps combat feelings of loneliness, isolation, and alienation—issues that are all too common in modern urban settings. The festive atmosphere of Vaisakhi, which often includes lively music, dance, and a communal spirit, provides an uplifting and affirming experience for those who might otherwise feel disconnected from their cultural heritage or the larger society.
Moreover, Vaisakhi celebrations often focus on selfless service, or seva, a concept that emphasizes the well-being of others. Engaging in seva—whether by volunteering at the Gurdwara, distributing free meals, or simply helping a neighbor—can give individuals a profound sense of purpose, which is closely linked to mental health benefits. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, release endorphins, the “feel-good” chemicals in the brain, and provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. This cycle of giving and receiving creates a positive environment conducive to mental well-being.
For those struggling with mental health challenges, spiritual gatherings like Vaisakhi can also provide a space for healing. They offer opportunities for individuals to reflect on their struggles in the context of community support, reminding them that they are not alone. The shared experience of participating in Vaisakhi activities can be therapeutic, as it fosters a sense of unity and hope.
In Vancouver, the mental health benefits of Vaisakhi are amplified by the city’s diverse cultural makeup. Individuals from all walks of life come together, sharing their traditions, stories, and customs, which enriches the fabric of the community. The act of embracing diversity and celebrating various cultural expressions, including Vaisakhi, creates an inclusive and empathetic environment. Such gatherings promote open dialogue around mental health and wellness, reducing stigma and fostering a supportive atmosphere for those who may be experiencing difficulties.
As Vancouver’s population continues to grow and diversify, the mental health benefits of community celebrations like Vaisakhi become even more vital. In a world where many people feel disconnected or stressed, Vaisakhi offers a much-needed opportunity to pause, reflect, and be part of something bigger than oneself. It is a reminder that we are all interconnected, and in times of difficulty, turning to community and spirituality can help heal the mind and soul.
As spring arrives, Vancouver comes alive with vibrant blooms, longer days, and warmer weather. However, for many residents, this is also the time when seasonal allergies start to flare up.
SPRIng ALLERg
With pollen from trees, grass, and flowers filling the air, those sensitive to allergens may find themselves suffering from sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. But don’t worry— there are plenty of ways to manage spring allergies and make the most of the season. Here’s a comprehensive guide to surviving spring allergy season in Vancouver.
Understand the Triggers
Before you can combat allergies, it’s important to understand the primary triggers. In Vancouver, common allergens include tree pollen (from
birch, maple, and cedar), grass pollen, and the pollen from flowers. The intensity of allergens peaks in the late morning and early afternoon, when the pollen count is highest. Understanding these triggers can help you plan your day and avoid exposure during peak times.
Air Purifiers: A Breath of Fresh Air
One of the most effective ways to control allergens indoors is by using an air purifier. Invest in a high-quality HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate
Air) filter, which mites, and other allergies. Place air rooms where you time, such as the bedroom. Be sure the filters regularly efficiency.

This simple routine can significantly reduce your exposure to pollen, especially if you’re prone to severe allergic reactions.
during spring, it’s important to be mindful of when allergens are at their peak. Pollen counts are typically highest between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m., so try to avoid being outdoors during these hours. If you must be outside, consider wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from pollen and a mask to filter the air you breathe.
Shower and Change Clothes After Being Outdoors
After spending time outside, it’s
Medication: Use Wisely
Antihistamines are one of the most common treatments for managing seasonal allergies. Over-the-counter antihistamines can help relieve symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itching. Be sure to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication, as some antihistamines can cause drowsiness or interact with other medications. Nasal sprays and decongestants can also provide relief, but they should be used with caution to avoid overuse.
Allergy-Proof Your Home
In addition to using air purifiers, take other steps to reduce allergens inside your home. Keep windows closed during the day to prevent pollen from entering. Use allergen-proof mattress and pillow covers to reduce dust mites, and wash bedding in hot water weekly to kill any potential allergens. If possible, try to avoid keeping fresh flowers or plants indoors, as they can contribute to indoor allergens.
Natural Remedies
If you’re looking for a more holistic approach to allergy relief, several natural
remedies may help alleviate symptoms. Local honey, for example, is believed to help some people build immunity to pollen allergens. Drinking plenty of water can also help thin mucus, making it easier to clear from the sinuses. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution is another effective method to rinse allergens out of the nasal passages and provide relief from congestion.
Consult an Allergist
For those who experience severe or chronic allergy symptoms, it may be worth consulting an allergist. They can conduct tests to determine exactly what you’re allergic to and recommend more specific treatments, such as allergy shots (immunotherapy), which can provide long-term relief. a ntihistamines are O ne O f the m O st c O mm O n treatments f O r managing seas O nal allergies.

joHn ABRAHAM DELIVERS A REStRAInED YEt PoWERfUL
PERfoRMAnCE In tHIS gRIPPIng tHRILLER
Director: Shivam Nair
Cast: John Abraham, Sadia Khateeb, Revathy, and Kumud Mishra
Genre: Political Thriller
Duration: 137 minutes
Rating: 3/5
The Diplomat is a political thriller directed by Shivam Nair, featuring John Abraham as J.P. Singh, an Indian diplomat stationed in Pakistan. The narrative centers on Singh’s mission to rescue Uzma Ahmed, portrayed by Sadia Khateeb, an Indian woman trapped in a forced marriage in Pakistan. The film draws inspiration from real events, offering a grounded portrayal of international diplomacy without resorting to jingoism.
John Abraham delivers a restrained performance, effectively embodying the composed and strategic nature of a diplomat. Sadia Khateeb brings depth to her role, capturing the vulnerability and resilience of Uzma. Revathy, as Sushma Swaraj, adds gravitas to the narrative, while Kumud Mishra and Sharib Hashmi provide solid support.
While the film’s intent is commendable, focusing on the nuances of diplomacy rather than high-octane action, it occasionally
suffers from a slow pace, particularly in the first half. Some scenes feel stretched, and the screenplay, though realistic, lacks the punch expected from a thriller. However, the cinematography effectively captures the tense atmosphere, and the background score enhances the film’s mood without overpowering the narrative.
In summary, The Diplomat is a well-intentioned film that offers a fresh perspective on India-Pakistan relations. While it may not deliver edge-of-the-seat excitement, it provides a thoughtful exploration of diplomacy and international relations. Fans of political dramas and John Abraham’s more nuanced performances will find it worth a watch.

Spring in Canada is a season of gentle awakenings— when the earth softens, the air sweetens, and the country’s diverse landscapes begin to stir with new life.
exploring Canada’s
most beautiful spring Walks
rom the cherry blossomlined paths of Vancouver and Toronto to the ocean-kissed coastal trails of Halifax and Tofino, Canadians are gifted a fleeting but spectacular window to explore nature’s artistry. These scenic spring walks invite not just movement, but mindfulness—a slower pace that allows us to absorb the quiet beauty of a season in transition.
Where blossoms take center stage
On the West Coast, Vancouver continues to reign as the cherry blossom capital of Canada. More than 40,000 sakura trees bloom across the city in April, transforming entire neighborhoods into dreamy tunnels of pink and white. Queen Elizabeth Park and Stanley Park’s Rose Garden are especially magical in the early morning, when soft light filters through the petals and the city feels hushed. The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival turns appreciation into celebration— with guided walks, poetry readings, and musical performances held beneath the trees.
Toronto, meanwhile, hosts its own stunning display in High Park, where cherry trees gifted by Tokyo in the
1950s burst into color each spring. The bloom usually peaks in late April, drawing photographers, families, and early risers hoping to catch the spectacle before the crowds arrive. Outside the park, other peaceful bloom spots include Trinity Bellwoods and Robarts Library, where the petals fall like confetti across campus lawns.
In Montreal, the Botanical Garden becomes a living painting of pastels and perfume. Alongside cherry blossoms, visitors are treated to magnolia trees, crabapple blooms, and hyacinths in
bloom. Westmount Park and Parc Jean-Drapeau also offer less-crowded routes to explore.
Coastal calm and lakeside wanders
But spring beauty in Canada isn’t limited to petals. Along coastlines, riverbanks, and lakeshores, trails are waking up from winter, offering space to move, breathe, and reconnect. On Vancouver Island, the Tonquin Trail in Tofino is a short, forested walk that opens onto secluded beaches framed by rugged cliffs and driftwood. In Victoria, locals head to Dallas Road for seaside walks with views of kite surfers, wildflowers, and distant snowcapped peaks. On the other side of the country, the Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk is one of the most beloved spring strolls in Atlantic Canada. With food vendors returning,
patios reopening, and the salty tang of ocean air, the boardwalk becomes a vibrant ribbon that ties the city to its maritime roots. For those seeking something wilder, Newfoundland’s Signal Hill offers dramatic Atlantic views and a challenging trail that hugs the coastline just outside St. John’s.
Even the Prairie provinces bloom in their own way. Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park is dotted with budding gardens and sculpture walks that feel almost meditative in the early thaw. Saskatoon’s Meewasin Trail runs along the South Saskatchewan River, offering prairie vistas, songbirds, and quiet benches to take it all in.
Walking as a spring ritual Wherever you are in Canada this spring, take time to walk. Not to get anywhere fast, but to feel grounded in the present. In a country as vast and varied as ours, every path has its own story—and spring may be the best time to listen.
From breezy fabrics to sun-kissed hues, create a space that feels fresh, bright, and inviting all season long.
home décor Summer-ize your
Spending more time indoors has all of us paying closer attention to the smallest of details in when it comes to our interior decor. Let the season prompt you to make some fun changes for a fresh look. Here’s how you can add some summer motifs into your living spaces:
Floral motifs: Nothing says Summer like bright floral patterns, incorporate more floral prints in your space, with bedding cushions and accessories.
Accessorise with citrus, summer lemons, and oranges placed around the house in beautiful bowls and platters. These make for the perfect summer accessory.
Expand living space to outdoor space, whether it is a small porch or a large backyard. Consider adding outdoor furniture and incorporating outdoor living space.
An easy way to bring colour to space is to create fun custom lampshades in bright summer colours and swapping them out seasonally.

Place beautiful coffee table books around the house for lazy summer reading. Books are also the perfect accessory for your coffee or bedside table.
Switch to summer bedding. Consider
swapping your bedding to crisp white cotton with floral accents.
Brighten up your patio with an indoor/ outdoor rug. A rug is a great way to add a sense of outdoor room and add a pop of colour to the outdoor space.
Woven and wicker: Nothing says summer like woven textures, be it wicker rocking chairs on the porch or rattan chairs in a sunroom. Consider adding seasonal wicker accents like baskets to store items or light fixtures to add texture to space.
Add mirrors: Summer light is a great way to illuminate your space with natural light. Consider placing mirrors on the walls in front of bright windows to bring the bright summer light in. Additionally, rearrange your room to maximize flow, take-out items, and move items around to allow for the best access to natural light and movement within the space.

Happy Couples
How to keep your relationship
To make your relationship last and keep it healthy and strong, both partners should put in equal efforts. There are going to arguments and disagreements but you should be able to solve them without biting each other’s heads off.
Here are eight ways to your
relationship healthy and become a happy couple:
1. Learn to accept and appreciate It is in human nature to make mistakes. You cannot expect yourself or your partner to be the best version of themselves at all times. If your partner is being wrong, use gentle words and constructive criticism to tell it to them. Make sure to tell them that
you are always there whenever they need you.
2. Stay playful
The secret to a long-lasting relationship is doing fun things together. Take your partner to the movies or drive across town to a new restaurant. If you are feeling defensive about something your partner said, reply using a joke instead of some rude words.
Love is the foundation of every relationship but it takes more to keep it healthy.
Couples relationship healthy?
Physical affection is important in every relationship. It doesn’t mean you have start making love every change you get. Give random kisses, hold hands, and give hugs as it releases feel good hormones and keeps the two of you close.
3. Give your partner personal space
Humans want closeness but they also want their own space. Cuddle
up on some mornings but on other days, get on with your schedule, so neither of you feel pricked.
4. Use the AAA plan
The AAA plan by Mira Kirshenbaum, author of The Weekend Marriage, stands for apology, affection, and a promise of action. If you hurt your partner, apologize to them before
matters get worse, show affection like a kiss or a hug, and promise that you won’t repeat the mistake.
5. Start a tradition
Every couple has a tradition, which shows that they are interested in keeping the relationship alive. Go on dates on Saturday night, plan a weekend trip once every three months, take birthday trips, and plan random surprises to show your affection. Both partners should put in equal efforts as it develops a sense of understanding between a two.
6. Always be supportive
If your partner is starting a new business or taking up on a new habit, encourage and support them. The key is to believe in your partner and provide guidance in every way possible. If your partner is working over time, help with the dishes, put the children to bed, and give them a nice massage in the night.
7. Show vulnerability
You don’t have to be strong all the time in front of your partner. Showing vulnerability strengthens emotional intimacy between the two of you and helps to understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses, fears, and phobias.
shy away from asking for help whether it is helping with work or coping up with stress.
Never miss an opportunity to show how much you love them. Bring them flowers, favorite ice cream, or take them to random dinners at their favorite restaurant.

VEtERAn CIVIL EngInEER RICHARD HARRIS joInS gURU nAnAK DIVERSItY VILLAgE BUILDIng CoMMIttEE
Richard Harris, a seasoned Civil Engineer and Project Management Professional with over 30 years of experience in the design and construction industry, has joined the Guru Nanak Diversity Village building committee. His extensive background in engineering and project management will be an invaluable asset as the project progresses toward its goal of providing state-of-the-art longterm care for seniors.
As a passionate advocate for long-term care facilities, Richard is deeply committed to ensuring that the Guru Nanak Diversity Village will meet the needs of the South Asian community and the broader population. In a recent discussion with PICS Society, Richard shared
his personal connection to the project, recalling his journey to find appropriate accommodations and care for his 84-year-old mother. His experience has inspired him to contribute to a project that he believes will provide much-needed facilities for seniors in the region.
“I’m proud to be part of this important project. We’re not just building a facility; we’re creating a community that will provide long-term care and support for seniors in the South Asian community and beyond,” said Richard. He further emphasized the importance of community involvement, stating, “This project needs everyone’s help. As we continue with construction, I encourage others to volunteer their time, skills, as well as donate to help make this vision a reality.”
The Guru Nanak Diversity Village project is currently in the early stages of construction. The planned 3-storey long-term care facility will feature 125 beds and is designed to honor cultural values, traditions, and beliefs in its approach to senior care.
The facility is set to become a vital resource for seniors, offering not only care but a sense of belonging and community.
PICS Society encourages those interested in contributing to the project, whether through volunteering or donations, to reach out to their head office in Surrey for more information.
