January has long been associated with urgency and expectation. For our January 2026 issue, we chose a different approach.

D

r. Sanghera represents a rare fusion of immigrant resilience, seasoned medical leadership and community stewardship. He is a physician who has shaped care not from executive distance but from the intimate front lines of community practice.

His career has been defined by listening to families, advocating for physicians and designing models of care where access is equitable and dignity is central.

A journey shaped by community and purpose Born in Punjab and raised between the United Kingdom and northern British Columbia, Dr. Sanghera’s early life offered a view of migration that was grounded in hard work, family trust and cultural identity.

His family began with little, building a life through collective effort and disciplined hope. These foundational chapters instilled in him a view of leadership that is inclusive rather than individual and

progress that is collaborative rather than personal.

His studies at the University of British Columbia began with Pharmacy, where he was identified as a Centennial Scholar, then continued to Medicine, where he served as Co-Chief Resident. He began clinical practice in 1997, and in 1998 established his own family medicine practice in Burnaby.

This marked the start of nearly three decades of service through a practice known for its multicultural reach and attentive approach to longitudinal care.

There is a calm precision to his presence in the exam room.

Families trust him, new Canadians find cultural understanding, and the elderly find steadiness and continuity. His practice is less an office and more a community anchor, a place where patient histories are carried with discretion and care.

Leadership defined by collaboration In the ecosystem of healthcare governance, Dr. Sanghera has become a familiar architect of solutions. He co-founded PrimeCare Medical Centre and helped establish the Edmonds Urgent and Primary Care Centre, a physician-led model built to support, not overshadow, family practices in the surrounding community.

The pandemic years were a defining period. He led Burnaby’s first drivethrough testing and assessment centre at a time when urgency and clarity were needed in equal measure.

Physicians, nurses, municipal partners and public health officials describe him as quietly effective,

responsive to risk and composed in a moment when urgency could easily have become disorder.

His leadership approach is rarely declarative. It is careful, consultative and deeply informed by the lived experiences of frontline care. He believes systems evolve only when those who work inside them are heard without hierarchy. His commitment to collaborative medicine is a philosophy, not a slogan.

In recognition of his sustained contributions beyond the clinic, Dr. Sanghera was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2024 for outstanding community service, a national honour that reflects his long-standing impact on public health, civic leadership and community well-being.

A vision grounded in listening As President-Elect, Dr. Sanghera positions himself not as a reformer with demands but as a leader with intent. His mandate aligns with the Doctors of BC strategic plan and focuses on physician voice, fair compensation, improved retention, clearer access pathways and a modernized primary care framework that respects both patient needs and physician well-being.

He often returns to three principles: community trust, physician wellness and clarity of delivery.

For him, policy is not an abstract architecture but something that must hold weight in the hands of a practitioner at the end of a long day. He understands burnout not academically but experientially. He understands workforce strain not conceptually but personally.

His leadership statement is simple.

Better outcomes require a culture where government, physicians and public health institutions collaborate with transparency. The physician voice must not only be invited but must be central. Equity must be designed into systems rather than asked for later.

Crafting care with dignity In a province where diverse languages, identities and migration histories intersect daily in waiting rooms, Dr. Sanghera stands as a clinician who reflects the communities he serves. His work across long-term care, obstetrics, hospital medicine and urgent care has given him a vantage point that is both wide and human.

Medicine, for him, is not only treatment but relationship. It is the earned trust between a family that arrives anxious and the physician who steadies the room with assurance and knowledge.

Dr. Ramneek Dosanjh I

A physician leader shaping the future of equitable care

n Canada’s evolving healthcare landscape, few voices resonate as powerfully as Dr. Ramneek Dosanjh, a physician, advocate and global champion for equity and women’s leadership in medicine. A family physician by training, mother of three and relentless advocate for mental health, social justice and gender equity, Dr. Dosanjh represents a new generation of medical leaders driven by compassion, courage and uncompromising purpose.

Her journey began in Ladner, where a close-knit community and a deep curiosity for science shaped her early worldview.

Growing up with a mother managing severe illness and a family physician who inspired her with the possibilities of medicine, she immersed herself in anatomy, physiology and the human experience. Volunteering at Delta Hospital at the age of 12, she found herself drawn to patient care, connection and the emotional weight of medicine. “It was the awe of it,” she has said, “the feeling that you could always keep learning and never exhaust the wonder.”

Her training took her to Atlanta, where she completed a rigorous family medicine residency that strengthened her skills in complex care and hospital-based medicine.

A life-altering health crisis early in her career, when she developed cauda equina syndrome and was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down, reshaped her sense of identity and purpose. Her recovery, marked by determination and refusal to let her condition define her future, deepened her empathy for patients and broadened her perspective on resilience and physician well-being.

Dr. Dosanjh has since become one of the most influential physician leaders in British Columbia. In 2022, she took office as President of Doctors of BC, where she championed physician health, the preservation of primary care, virtual care reforms and improved equity across the system.

Her leadership prioritized listening, connection and building stronger relationships between clinicians and the organizations that support them. She consistently amplified issues such as social determinants of health, adverse childhood experiences and the need for a more compassionate, data-informed and sustainable system.

Her impact extends well beyond provincial borders. In 2024, she was elected at the national level as President of the Federation of Medical Women of Canada, further

JANUARY 2026

strengthening her role in advancing women’s health and leadership across the country. In October 2025, in Cairo, Egypt, she was elected Executive Vice President of North America for the Medical Women’s International Association, joining a global movement that has championed women physicians and women’s health for more than a century.

Through these roles, she collaborates with international partners, advocating for reproductive justice, the prevention of gender-based violence and improved representation in medical leadership worldwide. “We have made tremendous progress, but there is still a world to change,” she has said, reflecting her belief in shared responsibility and global solidarity.

As a survivor of intimate partner violence, Dr. Dosanjh’s advocacy carries profound personal depth. Her work increasingly focuses on confronting gender-based violence and the cultural and systemic structures that allow it to persist. This commitment has shaped her leadership beyond medicine and into the justice system.

She co-founded the Health Justice Alliance, a first-ofits-kind intersectoral partnership between the legal community and Doctors of BC, dedicated to transforming the family justice system through a health-informed, trauma-aware lens. She was also appointed to the Collaborative Justice Strategy Commission, working alongside the Chief Justice and the Office of the Attorney General to advance more equitable and compassionate approaches to justice.

Today, Dr. Dosanjh continues to work at the intersection of medicine, policy and justice. Her career exemplifies the power of lived experience, the strength of community roots and the importance of courage in challenging entrenched systems. Whether speaking on physician burnout, championing youth mental health or pushing for equity and diversity in healthcare and justice policy, she remains committed to her core mission: creating a more humane and just system for all.

In an era of unprecedented strain on healthcare workers, Dr. Ramneek Dosanjh stands as a reminder that leadership can be both empathetic and transformative. Her story is one of resilience, service and unwavering belief in the possibility of change, carried forward by the countless colleagues, patients and communities she continues to inspire.

The art of

building

bonds meaningful

T

he beginning of a new year often brings an urge to reset habits, routines, and goals. Yet one of the most meaningful places to begin is in how we relate to others.

Relationships shape our sense of stability, belonging, and emotional well-being far more than productivity ever could. Choosing connection with intention means stepping away from emotional overload and focusing instead on relationships that feel grounded, reciprocal, and supportive. Rather than treating relationships as something to manage, this approach asks us to be more deliberate about where we invest our time, attention, and emotional energy.

The principles below offer practical ways to clear emotional clutter and strengthen the connections that truly matter.

Begin with awareness Start by noticing how your relationships make you feel. Pay attention to which interactions leave you calm, understood, and energized, and which leave you feeling drained or obligated. Awareness creates the foundation for healthier choices without the need for confrontation or guilt.

Release emotional clutter Unspoken expectations, lingering resentment, and the habit of over-giving can quietly strain even strong relationships. Address small tensions early, communicate needs clearly, and allow yourself to step back when a dynamic feels unbalanced. Letting go creates space for more honest connection.

Roaming Rhapsodies: Rest quation serchil lore sti oratemperum eaqui aut

Choose consistency over intensity Meaningful relationships grow through steady presence rather than occasional bursts of effort.

Regular check-ins, shared routines, and reliable followthrough build trust and emotional safety over time.

Strengthen your relationship with yourself Self-awareness shapes every connection. Understanding your own needs and values helps you engage with others from a place of clarity rather than expectation, creating more balanced and fulfilling relationships.

Set boundaries that support closeness Boundaries are essential to sustainable connection. Being clear about time, energy, and emotional capacity prevents burnout and resentment. Healthy boundaries allow you to show up more fully and with greater care.

Choosing connection with intention is not about having fewer people in your life. It is about creating relationships that feel steady, honest, and emotionally sustainable as the year unfolds.

Practice attentive listening Listening is one of the most practical tools for deepening connection. Give conversations your full attention, minimize distractions, and respond with curiosity rather than solutions.

Feeling heard strengthens trust.

Underdog The story of Dr. Hakam Singh Bhullar and a fearless fight for equity in veterinary care

At its heart, ‘Underdog’ is a story about compassion, courage and an unwavering belief in fairness. In this powerful memoir, Dr. Hakam Singh Bhullar retraces his extraordinary journey from rural Punjab to the center of one of Canada’s most significant human rights battles.

is life and work reveal how one veterinarian’s dedication to accessible care evolved into a broader fight for justice and systemic reform.

Dr. Bhullar arrived in Canada with a simple mission. He wanted to make veterinary care accessible to families who often had to choose between basic needs and their pets’ well-being. In 1995, he opened Vancouver’s first low cost animal clinic, a groundbreaking model that offered essential services to low income families, homeless pet owners and animal welfare organizations. As the first Indo Canadian veterinarian to establish such a clinic, he became a mentor for internationally trained veterinarians who were struggling to rebuild their careers in a new country.

‘Underdog’ ultimately captures a legacy defined by empathy and courage. It speaks to immigrants rebuilding their lives, professionals confronting inequality and communities that believe in fairness. Dr. Hakam Singh Bhullar’s story continues to inspire those who champion equity in Canada and beyond.

But his impact drew resistance. ‘Underdog’ takes readers inside the escalating conflict with the British Columbia Veterinary Medical Association, where opaque licensing barriers, repeated inspections and targeted pressures attempted to silence his work. The dispute unfolded into the longest human rights trial in Canadian history, exposing structural and racial biases, misuse of regulatory authority and attempts to suppress affordable veterinary care. One of the most troubling revelations in the book includes footage of a senior official remarking, “Gone are the days when you can go there with a torch and burn the place down. Quicker way.”

JANUARY 2026

The eventual ruling delivered a rare victory: a formal public apology and acknowledgment of the injustices Dr. Bhullar endured. For readers, it becomes clear that ‘Underdog’ is not only a memoir. It is a movement, a reminder that persistence and community support can challenge entrenched systems. “This book is not just about my story. It is about the power of persistence, the importance of community and the belief that justice can prevail, even when the odds are stacked against you,” he writes. The memoir traces his roots to Saron village in Punjab’s Sangrur district, his graduation from Punjab Agricultural University in 1986, his service as a Veterinary Officer, his move to Canada in 1991 and his internship at Iowa State University before becoming fully licensed in British Columbia. It also revisits the founding of Atlas

A night of culture, connection, and celebration at

ICAI British Columbia’s 12th annual gala

T

he British Columbia Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has long served as a professional home for ICAI alumni across the province. Approved at ICAI’s 333rd Council meeting and inaugurated in Vancouver in November 2014 by then ICAI President Mr. Raghu, the chapter was established to foster connection, professional growth, and a strong sense of belonging among members in Canada.

Over the years, the chapter has evolved into a vital platform for networking, mentorship, and community building. With a strong focus on supporting Chartered Accountants transitioning to Canada, it offers mentoring programs, skillbuilding workshops, social events, and sports activities that encourage professional integration while enabling members to contribute meaningfully to the Canadian economy.

That spirit was on full display at the chapter’s 12th Annual Gala in 2025, one of the most anticipated events on the community calendar. Held at

22

the elegant Aria Banquet Hall, the evening embraced a Spanish Fiesta theme, transforming the venue into a vibrant celebration of color, rhythm, and cultural expression.

The event was further distinguished by the presence of Mr. Masakui Rungsung, Consul General of India in Vancouver, who attended as the guest of honor, underscoring the community’s strong cultural and diplomatic ties.

Also in attendance was CPA representative Jennefer Farr, reinforcing the close professional collaboration between ICAI alumni and Canada’s broader accounting ecosystem.

The gala was proudly supported by presenting sponsors Brian Jessel BMW and ICICI Bank, whose partnership played a vital role in bringing the evening’s vision to life.

Their commitment to excellence and community engagement aligned seamlessly with the chapter’s values, contributing to the event’s scale and sophistication.

Entertainment proved to be a defining highlight. A refined piano recital set an uplifting tone, followed by the infectious energy of a live mariachi band. The momentum continued with a dynamic dance showcase featuring ‘El Son de la Negra,’ ‘El Jarabe Tapatío,’ and high-energy Cha-Cha-Cha, Merengue, and Salsa performances that carried the audience on a spirited cultural journey.

Midway through the evening, the program shifted to a heartfelt musical tribute honoring Dharmendra Ji, celebrating the golden era of Bollywood. Soulful renditions of timeless songs filled the hall with nostalgia, creating one of the night’s most memorable moments.

Beyond its glamour, the Annual Gala remains a cornerstone for networking and collaboration within British Columbia’s business community, celebrating unity, cultural richness, and collective growth while looking confidently toward the future.

rue luxury is defined not only by craftsmanship, but by the stories it chooses to tell. With its Spring Summer 2026 collection, ‘The Explorer Project: Mission Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh’, Stefano Ricci presents a deeply evocative tribute to India, a land where imperial history, spiritual depth, and natural grandeur exist in quiet harmony.

The campaign is brought to life through the lens of Steve McCurry, the legendary photographer whose visual language has long been intertwined with the soul of India. A trusted collaborator of the house, McCurry frames the collection within a journey that feels both intimate and monumental.

The story opens at the Taj Mahal at first light, capturing its stillness and precision, before moving

through the red sandstone architecture of Fatehpur Sikri and the ceremonial rhythms of Jaipur. From the geometric beauty of the Panna Meena stepwell to the commanding presence of the Amber Fort, each location adds a layer to the narrative.

The journey continues through the indigo-toned streets of Jodhpur and unfolds into an emotional crescendo at sunset on the lakes of Udaipur. In a striking contrast, the campaign also ventures into Ranthambore National Park, where the Bengal tiger, regal and untamed, emerges as a powerful symbol of India’s enduring strength and mystique.

These landscapes find expression in the collection itself. Stefano Ricci translates India’s visual richness into a refined palette of Taj Mahal white, Jaipur pink, Mercury blue inspired by Jodhpur, and Ranthambore tobacco.

Ultra-fine knitwear, aloe-treated linen shirts, and soft nubuck jackets in sari-inspired hues reflect the house’s commitment to comfort, precision, and understated opulence.

Beyond fashion, the collection reflects a longstanding cultural dialogue between Stefano Ricci and India. The brand’s relationship with Indian cinema and its icons, including Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor, underscores a shared appreciation for elegance,

presence, and legacy, values that resonate throughout the collection.

Now showcased in Vancouver, Mission Rajasthan invites clients to experience a vision of luxury shaped by memory, artistry, and respect for heritage. The Stefano Ricci boutique is located at 1139 West Georgia Street, offering selfparking at the Fortis BC building and complimentary valet service at the Paradox Hotel next door, ensuring an experience that is as seamless as it is refined.

A

t the heart of Riya’s work is a genuine love for performance and storytelling. In front of the camera, she gravitates toward emotionally grounded short films that allow space for vulnerability, nuance, and depth. Her on-screen choices reflect a thoughtful approach to acting, one that values feeling over spectacle. Alongside film, she has appeared in several music videos, most recently collaborating on a project featuring Bohemia, further expanding her range across visual mediums. Her artistic journey has also taken her to the stage, where she was part of ‘La Tragédie de Carmen’, an opera production by Nebula Performances, blending classical performance with contemporary presence.

Fashion remains another powerful avenue of expression for Riya.

She has worked across brand campaigns, runway shows, and fashion presentations, including Surrey Fashion Week, where her composure and clarity stood out.

For her, modeling goes far beyond the walk. It is about translating a designer’s vision through movement, emotion, and energy,

JANUARY 2026

creating a connection between garment and audience.

A defining milestone arrived in 2025, when Riya was crowned Miss South Asia World 2025.

The title marked more than a pageant win. It reflected years of personal growth, resilience, and the confidence that comes from learning to speak with purpose.

For Riya, pageantry has always been about voice and self-belief, not surface-level beauty.

Off the runway, she brings the same discipline to her role at the Stefano Ricci store in Vancouver, immersed in the world of luxury menswear and fine craftsmanship. Working in a space that demands precision and professionalism has sharpened her understanding of fashion, detail, and presence, reinforcing the importance of attitude as much as aesthetics.

Across every role she steps into, Riya Bist continues to build a career rooted in intention, creativity, and earned confidence, proving that the most compelling journeys are the ones shaped from the inside out.

movie review

Five ANights at Freddy’s 2 lore-heavy return for devoted fans Film: Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Genre: Horror, supernatural thriller Duration: Approximately 105 minutes Director: Emma Tammi Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Matthew Lillard, Wayne Knight Rating: (2.5/5)

F

ollowing the unexpected box office success of Five Nights at Freddy’s in 2023, the sequel arrives with confidence and a clear intention to deepen its eerie universe. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 leans heavily into the mythology of its game-based roots, offering fans more haunted animatronics, expanded backstories, and a familiar blend of supernatural menace and nostalgia.

Set primarily in 2002, with a brief prologue in 1982, the film once again follows Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and his younger sister Abby (Piper Rubio). Abby, who formed an unsettling bond with the animatronic characters in the first film, now finds herself drawn back into their world.

A new figure, Marionette, is introduced as both a threat and a guide, expanding the franchise’s ghostly lore while opening the

28

door to new conflicts.

Director Emma Tammi returns with a visual style that remains faithful to the franchise’s retro aesthetic.

The animatronics, including familiar faces like Freddy Fazbear and Chica, retain their mechanical charm and unsettling presence. The film also attempts to broaden its scope, moving beyond a single location and placing its characters in a series of settings that reflect the story’s growing ambition.

While the narrative occasionally feels more focused on mythology than momentum, fans of the game series will appreciate the attention to detail and references woven throughout. Certain suspense sequences aim to recreate the interactive tension of gameplay,

www. entertainmentmagazine.ca

particularly through surveillance and control-room moments that echo the franchise’s origins.

The film’s conclusion leaves several threads unresolved, signaling that this installment is part of a larger continuing story rather than a standalone experience. For longtime followers, that open-ended approach may feel inviting rather than frustrating.

Ultimately, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is designed with its core audience firmly in mind.

It may not convert newcomers, but for fans invested in the lore, characters, and haunted atmosphere, it offers another immersive visit into a familiar and unsettling world.

Begin with spatial harmony. Before adding new elements, consider proportion and scale. Furniture that is too large overwhelms a room, while pieces that are too small disrupt visual balance. Aim for a layout that allows furniture to breathe, with clear pathways and purposeful placement. Negative space is as important as what fills it, offering visual calm and ease of movement.

Color layering is another essential element. Instead of relying on a single shade, build a palette through tonal variations. Soft walls paired with slightly deeper upholstery, textured rugs, or contrasting trims create depth without visual noise. This layered approach brings sophistication while maintaining a sense of calm continuity across rooms.

Material selection plays a defining role in how a space is experienced. Matte finishes feel understated and grounding, while subtle gloss adds light and refinement. Mixing materials such as lacquered wood, brushed metal, stone, and upholstery creates quiet contrast and visual interest. Consistency in finishes helps maintain cohesion, especially in open-plan homes.

Lighting deserves equal consideration. A welldesigned room rarely relies on a single light source.

Table lamps, floor lamps, wall lighting, and soft overhead fixtures should work together to shape the mood throughout the day. Warm-toned lighting in living areas and bedrooms encourages relaxation, while focused lighting in work zones improves functionality without harshness.

Decorative elements should be curated rather than accumulated. Art, books, ceramics, and textiles work best when chosen for both meaning and placement. Group objects thoughtfully, vary heights and forms, and allow certain pieces to anchor a

room. This restraint ensures that décor feels intentional and personal rather than cluttered.

Ultimately, a supportive home is one where every element has a role. When design choices are made with purpose, the result is a space that feels composed, functional, and quietly luxurious, setting the tone for a wellconsidered year ahead.

collaborate on long term community development projects.

A mission rooted in empowerment Dream Buds Foundation supports individuals who are unable to realize their potential due to lack of resources, guidance or opportunities. The organization focuses on helping children, youth and adults from impoverished backgrounds by providing access to education, creative development, vocational skills, sports and environmental awareness. Over the years, the foundation has fulfilled dreams related to learning, arts, stitching, sports and other fields that uplift lives and restore dignity.

A significant part of its work centers on girls and women, with initiatives that include mental

A lifeline during the Punjab floods During the recent floods in Punjab, Dream Buds Foundation became an active force in relief efforts. The team focused on the Pathankot region, providing immediate assistance, organizing health camps, and supporting schools and students who were affected. Their work helped families rebuild their routines and provided comfort in a time of widespread loss.

About the founder: Diljott Diljott is widely recognized for her work in Indian cinema, having featured in several films and songs as a lead actress. Her recent release on an OTT platform was featured in GQ India, further establishing her as a rising creative voice.

Her academic achievements are equally impressive. She is a two time University Gold Medalist from Panjab University, Chandigarh, completing her Graduation in Psychology Honors and her Masters in Human Rights at the top of her class. She has studied Public Policy at Harvard University and International Development at the University of British Columbia.

Additionally, she holds a Post Graduate qualification in NGO

Management from Amity University and was selected for Human Rights Youth Training at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva. She is also a TEDx speaker, invited to address students at IIIT Allahabad.

Diljott’s passion for social service began early, from leading the National Service Scheme in school and university to volunteering for numerous community initiatives.

Her advanced studies and field work strengthened her resolve to create a platform that could uplift those who felt forced to abandon their dreams due to poverty or lack of opportunity.

Her efforts have earned her government recognition, including an honor as a Young Achiever by the Governor of Punjab and Administrator of Chandigarh, Shri Banwarilal Purohit. In June 2025, she received an appreciation letter from Governor Gulab Chand Kataria for her commitment to social work and for inspiring the youth. She also joined the Governor in a walk against drug abuse in May 2025.

Reflecting on her journey, Diljott shares, “As an actor and a public figure, I feel a deep responsibility to give back to society. Over the years, while traveling for shoots and meeting people from different walks of life, I came across many talented individuals who believed in their dreams but felt helpless because they lacked resources and support.

Many told me they were never meant to dream. Their words stayed with me, and I felt compelled to create an organization that could give hope to millions like them. Dream Buds Foundation is that promise. Every smile we see and every blessing we receive reminds us that every life is precious and every dream deserves a chance.”

The R

Nishant

A Story of Grit, Reinven responsibility became deeply embedded in who he was.

Chasing the skies in Los Angeles After high school, Sharma made a bold decision that surprised many around him. Drawn to aviation through his time in Air Cadets, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a pilot’s license.

Favorable weather conditions and accelerated flight programs made it an ideal setting.

At just eighteen, he earned his pilot’s license, marking one of his earliest major achievements.

While in Los Angeles, he supported himself through various jobs and explored modeling as a side pursuit, gaining confidence and exposure to yet another creative world.

Engineering discipline at the University of British Columbia Despite his success in aviation, Sharma sought a deeper technical foundation. Returning to Canada, he enrolled in the Engineering program at the University of British Columbia.

Funding his education required relentless effort. Scholarships were supplemented by night shifts as a security guard.

I

n every community, there are individuals who climb.

And then there are those who quietly build ladders so others can rise alongside them. Nishant Sharma belongs firmly to the latter.

Entrepreneur, engineer, performer, educator, and the operational backbone of one of British Columbia’s most impactful construction education platforms, Sharma’s journey unfolds not as a linear success story, but as a series of deliberate reinventions.

Each chapter reveals a young man shaped by responsibility, guided by discipline, and driven by an unshakable commitment to family

and community.

would define his life.

Today, he stands as a respected leader in British Columbia’s construction education ecosystem. The road that led him there, spanning continents, industries, and identities, is anything but ordinary.

While many children spent afternoons at play, Sharma became an active contributor to his family’s survival. After school, he helped manage the family video parlour, balancing inventory, customers, and homework at the counter. He also worked as a waiter, newspaper courier, and even as a magazine editor, picking up early skills in communication, design, and business operations.

A childhood shaped by responsibility Born in 1990 in Punjab, India, Nishant Sharma immigrated to Surrey, British Columbia in 1998 with his family. Like many immigrant households, the early years were marked by financial uncertainty. Responsibility arrived early, and with it, a work ethic that

He often reflects on this period as one where he became a true team member within his family, helping wherever possible, financially and otherwise. That mindset of shared

Weekends offered no respite.

He ran a Bollywood dance studio, teaching students while managing labs, lectures, and exams. Balancing fulltime engineering studies, late-night work, and a growing dance school demanded extreme discipline and time management.

This phase sharpened his focus and revealed another dimension of his personality. Alongside technical rigor, he embraced creativity and community engagement, traits that would resurface in unexpected ways.

Fort McMurray and work ethic on overdrive During and after his engineering degree, Sharma completed internships with Shell and Suncor in Fort McMurray. He began as a project coordinator

ntion, and Unshakable Drive and later advanced to a project manager role.

The environment was demanding, defined by long workdays, harsh weather, and high-pressure project execution. Sharma thrived in this setting, gaining handson experience in large-scale operations, team leadership, and technical delivery.

Yet, despite professional growth, the distance from family and community weighed heavily. That emotional pull would soon shape the next turning point in his life.

A voice that found its audience In 2015, an unexpected invitation changed everything. After performing as a lead dancer at a show, Sharma was asked to sing at an upcoming event. He agreed, unaware that this moment would ignite an entirely new chapter.

His first performance captivated the audience. Many were stunned to learn he had no formal vocal training. Event organizers immediately recognized his talent, and word spread rapidly.

Soon, Sharma was performing at multiple events every weekend, receiving overwhelming admiration from the local community. Some affectionately began referring to him as “Surrey’s Sonu Nigam.”

For a period, he lived a demanding double life. Weekdays were spent in Fort McMurray managing complex projects. Weekends meant flying to Vancouver, performing across multiple events, and returning Sunday nights to resume work. It was exhausting, exhilarating, and deeply fulfilling.

The music chapter was not

just about talent. It was about connection. His voice became a bridge between him and his community, earning a level of affection few local performers experience.

Returning home and redefining purpose Despite professional success in Fort McMurray, Sharma’s heart remained in Surrey. He wanted proximity to family and a chance to build something meaningful where he grew up.

During the global lockdowns in 2020, he used the pause to pursue both his builder’s license and his energy advisor license. What began as skill-building soon became the foundation of a long-term vision.

Education without barriers Today, Nishant Sharma comanages the Tradesman Association of British Columbia alongside his father. Together, they transformed it into a powerful educational platform serving the South Asian construction community.

They identified a critical gap. Many builders struggled with technical course material due to language barriers. Sharma responded by simplifying instruction, teaching in clear English, offering translations when needed, and breaking down complex regulatory requirements such as the British Columbia Step Code into practical, real-world guidance.

The impact was immediate and far-reaching.

Recognition, representation, and legacy Under Sharma’s operational leadership, the Tradesman Association launched two landmark initiatives. The Construction Expo created a platform connecting builders with suppliers and innovations. The South Asian Construction Excellence Awards, launched in 2021, became the first

JANUARY 2026

formal recognition platform for South Asian professionals in the industry.

While his father serves as the public-facing ambassador, Sharma oversees operations, logistics, course development, digital platforms, and execution.

Together, they have built an ecosystem rooted in dignity, access, and recognition.

A legacy in the making Sharma’s motivation remains deeply personal. His parents’ journey, their sacrifices and resilience, continue to guide him. Their values echo through every phase of his life, from childhood responsibility to aviation, engineering, music, and construction leadership.

His journey does not follow a straight line, and that is precisely what makes it remarkable. He has lived many lives. A child bearing responsibility early.

A teenager flying airplanes.

A university student working nights and teaching dance. A project manager in the oilsands.

A beloved singer on community stages. A builder, educator, and industry influencer.

Today, Nishant Sharma stands as the backbone of the Tradesman Association of British Columbia, shaping the future of construction education while uplifting thousands within the South Asian community. Grounded, focused, and purpose-driven, his story is not one of luck or privilege.

It is a story of relentless consistency, fearless reinvention, and unwavering dedication to family and community.

Nishant Sharma is not just building homes or hosting events.

He is building opportunity.

He is building confidence.

He is building legacy.

And his story is only just beginning.

is early success across industries such as textiles, fiber optics, packaging, automotive, high tech plastics and textile machinery made international trade and marketing his natural domain.

When he arrived in Canada as a Permanent Resident, later becoming a proud Canadian citizen, he carried that same spirit of connection with him.

Before immigrating, Dr. Savkur served on the national board of the Indo Canadian Business Chamber, including two consecutive terms as National President. In Canada, he founded Savkur International Agencies to support bilateral trade and went on to establish the BC India Business Network in 2015, where he now serves as President Emeritus. Over the years, he has become a trusted advisor to Canadian government agencies that seek to build partnerships with India. His contribution was key in bringing the Times of India Film Awards to Vancouver in 2013. That same year, he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, followed by the British Columbia Coronation Medal in 2024 for his service to the community.

JANUARY 2026

Dr. Savkur has consistently paired business leadership with deep community engagement.

He has held roles with Luke 15 House in Surrey, the Indo Canadian Business Chamber, the Hope for Orphans Society, Simon Fraser University’s India Advisory Council, the Trinity Western University Steering Committee. He also serves on the Board of the Vancouver International South Asian Film Festival. His contributions extend back to India as well, including work with the Indian Automotive Racing Club, where he helped organize the first Himalayan car rallies and participated as an observer at the East African Safari Rally in Nairobi.

His leadership in education is equally notable.

As Chairman Emeritus of the Canada India Education Council, Western Canada Chapter, he has championed stronger pathways between Canadian and Indian institutions, students and academic communities.

His accomplishments have earned him the Global Leadership Award from the Global Emerging Leadership Programs in 2022 and an Honorary Doctorate from Trinity Western University in 2023. In 2024, during the historic

coronation year of King Charles III, he was honored with the King Charles III Coronation Medal for outstanding service to British Columbia and Canada.

Despite a lifetime of recognition, Dr. Savkur remains grounded. His advice to his younger self and to today’s youth centers on curiosity, mentorship, respect for elders and compassion for those in need. “Increase your general knowledge, stay aware of your environment and find a mentor,” he says.

His own journey reflects the power of strong guidance, hard work and community involvement.

Looking ahead, he has no plans to slow down.

“I do not think retirement is for me,” he says with a smile. His days are filled with calls, messages and requests for help from around the world, a testament to his reputation as a bridge builder, problem solver and community leader.

For Dr. Vivek Anand Savkur, connection is not only a skill but a lifelong commitment to people, to purpose and to making a meaningful difference across continents.

Nineteen years lat his kindness still leads the way

The spirit of the season filled Riverside Palace Banquet Hall in Richmond on December 14, 2025, as community members from across the Lower Mainland gathered for the grand toy count of the 19th Annual Victor Ghirra Toy Drive.

M

ore than 150 attendees arrived carrying new, unwrapped toys and gift cards, united by a shared purpose of bringing comfort and joy to families navigating a difficult year. The family-friendly celebration reflected the warmth at the heart of the initiative. Festive treats, cheerful décor, and special appearances by Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the Grinch welcomed families as they dropped off toys and paused for photos, creating memories that extended well beyond the holiday season.

At the center of the toy drive is the enduring legacy of Victor Ghirra, a man remembered for his quiet generosity and genuine humility. This year alone, the drive collected more than 2,000 toys, all of which will be distributed to 18 charitable organizations across British Columbia. Supported by the Benevolent Brotherhood Society, the Ghirra family, Co-operators Insurance

agencies, Riverside Banquet Halls, and the Richmond Sunrise Rotary Group, the initiative continues to grow in both reach and impact.

For Victor’s nephew, Ethan Ghirra, the meaning of the toy drive runs deep. “I am deeply proud of how far our toy drive committee has come. Together, we have provided more than 50,000 toys to children and families in need.

This initiative honors my Uncle Victor, a man remembered for his kindness and humility, and reflects the power of community coming together for good.”

Victor’s compassion was perhaps most evident in his long-standing commitment to BC Children’s Hospital. For more than a dozen years, he quietly purchased thousands of dollars’ worth of toys

every Christmas and donated them anonymously. When asked who he was, Victor would simply respond that the toys were for the children, and that was all that mattered. His visits went unnoticed for years, a reflection of a man who gave without seeking recognition.

Nearly two decades later, Victor’s legacy continues to inspire those who knew him. Joe Casciano, Operations Supervisor at Cooperators Insurance, noted that 2025 marked another successful year of support for the toy drive. He shared that the generosity of colleagues and friends helped brighten the holidays for many families facing financial challenges, while also honoring a dear friend whose spirit of giving lives on. Plans are already underway to continue the tradition in 2026.

year. Project Chair Debbie Tablotney emphasized that strengthening communities lies at the heart of Rotary’s mission, and that the Ghirra Toy Drive provides a meaningful opportunity to spread comfort and happiness during the holidays.

The initiative was further supported by local businesses and individuals who stepped forward to help.

Dr. Harpreet Dhillon of Dentist on Kingsway and Strive Dental in Surrey once again contributed to the cause, while PrintPrint.ca, operated by one of Victor’s close friends, supported the drive through printed materials. Volunteers and donors from across the community came together, driven by a shared desire to make a difference.

This year’s beneficiaries included BC Children’s Hospital, Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, Richmond Christmas Fund, Canuck Place, Nightshift Ministries Care Centre, Surrey

Christmas Bureau, Richmond Food Bank, Vernon Santas Anonymous, local elementary schools, families affected by the Steveston apartment fire in Richmond, and children in need both locally and internationally. In total, more than 55,250 toys have been collected and distributed over the past 19 years.

Harvey Kooner of the Benevolent Brotherhood Society, founder of the toy drive, reflected on the season’s impact. He shared that the dedication of volunteers, donors, and community partners continues to bring hope and happiness to families who need it most, carrying forward Victor Ghirra’s vision of compassion, generosity, and care.

Relearning the joy of everyday cooking

J

anuary invites reflection not only in how we live, but also in how we cook. After months of indulgence, rushed meals and convenience choices, the kitchen becomes a natural place to reset. This is not about strict rules or eliminating joy. It is about making small, thoughtful changes that support health, ease and pleasure. The following edits focus on simplifying what you keep, refining how you cook and restoring confidence in everyday meals.

Start with a pantry clear out A reset begins by seeing what you already have. Remove expired items, overly processed foods you no longer enjoy and duplicates that create clutter. A streamlined pantry makes healthier cooking feel less overwhelming. Prioritize whole grains, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds and spices that bring flavor without excess salt or sugar. When the essentials are visible and accessible, cooking becomes intuitive rather than stressful.

Ingredient swaps that elevate everyday meals Healthier cooking does not require dramatic change. Small ingredient swaps can transform meals without sacrificing comfort. Use olive oil or avocado oil in place of heavily refined oils. Choose plain yogurt instead of cream in sauces and marinades.

4 Prepare one make ahead base for the week.

4 Create a calm cooking routine you can repeat.

Add vegetables to familiar dishes rather than removing foods you love. These changes preserve satisfaction while gently improving nutritional balance.

Build habits, not rules The most joyful kitchens are not rigid. They are consistent. Cooking at home a few more times a week, preparing one pot meals and keeping simple ingredients ready reduces decision fatigue. A pot of soup, roasted vegetables or cooked grains can become multiple meals.

This flexibility supports both busy schedules and mindful eating.

Reconnecting with the act of cooking A reset kitchen is also emotional.

Cooking can become a grounding ritual rather than a chore. Playing music, involving family members or taking time to plate food thoughtfully turns nourishment into care. When cooking feels personal again, healthier choices follow naturally.

The goal is not perfection. It is alignment. A kitchen that reflects how you actually live will always serve you better than one built on unrealistic ideals.

Your January health checklist

B

ut the healthiest way to begin the year is not by chasing transformation.

It is by checking in.

A thoughtful health check creates clarity, reduces anxiety and builds a foundation that supports the rest of the year with intention rather than urgency.

The following are practical, meaningful ways to monitor your health and set a grounded tone for the months ahead.

Start with understanding, not assumptions Before changing habits, it helps to understand where your

46

body truly stands. Annual checkups with a primary care physician remain the cornerstone of preventative health. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and body composition offer early insight into cardiovascular and metabolic health. These markers do not exist to label or alarm. They provide context, allowing small adjustments to be made before larger problems take root.

Screenings that matter at different stages Preventative screenings evolve with age, family history and lifestyle. Women may prioritize cervical health screenings, breast exams and bone density assessments, while men should remain attentive to heart health, prostate discussions and metabolic indicators. Colon health screenings, eye exams and dental checkups

www. entertainmentmagazine.ca

are equally essential for all adults, as they quietly influence long term wellbeing. The goal is not to complete a checklist, but to maintain continuity of care.

Mental health is part of the body’s story Mental and emotional health deserve the same attention as physical metrics. Sleep quality, stress levels and emotional resilience are often the first signals of imbalance. A brief mental health screening or an honest conversation with a healthcare provider can uncover burnout, anxiety or mood shifts that are easy to overlook. Caring for the mind strengthens the body’s ability to heal and adapt.

Lifestyle markers worth noticing Health is shaped daily, not annually.

Energy levels, digestion, movement patterns and recovery time after exertion reveal how well the body is coping with routine demands. Instead of extreme diets or intense fitness plans, focus on consistency.

Balanced meals,

4 Schedule an annual physical with your physician.

4 Discuss age appropriate screenings and family history.

4 Book eye, dental and hearing exams if overdue.

4 Assess sleep quality, stress levels and emotional wellbeing.

4 Commit to one supportive habit you can maintain all year.

Starting the year with awareness rather than urgency allows health to become a steady companion, not a constant pursuit. regular movement, hydration and sleep rhythms create stability that lasts beyond January.

Progress built on clarity A health check is not a judgment.

It is a compass. When you know what your body needs, choices become simpler and progress becomes sustainable. This approach shifts the narrative from fixing what is wrong to supporting what already works.

offers clear advantages in a complex market. Unlike banks that provide limited products, mortgage brokers have access to a broad network of lenders and financing options.

This allows solutions to be tailored to each client’s unique goals and circumstances.

Next‑gen cars arriving in Canada 2026

T

he 2026 model year is shaping up to be an exciting one for Canadian buyers, with key redesigns, electrified options and refreshed favourites set to arrive. From mainstream hybrids to polished luxury electric models, here are five vehicles expected to make waves in Canada in 2026.

Toyota RAV4 (all‑new generation) Toyota’s best‑selling SUV receives a full redesign for 2026, with Canadian buyers seeing hybrid and plug‑in hybrid powertrains only, eliminating the traditional gas‑only option. The new RAV4 brings upgraded technology, standard all‑wheel drive and a refreshed platform aimed at better handling and everyday capability. Delivery to Canadian showrooms is expected in spring and summer 2026.

Hyundai Palisade (redesign with first hybrid option) The 2026 Hyundai Palisade arrives in Canada with bold new styling, an updated interior and the brand’s first hybrid powertrain for this large SUV. All models sold in Canada will include all‑wheel drive, with premium interior tech such as dual 12.3‑inch displays and wireless smartphone connectivity enhancing the cabin experience.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (refreshed plug‑in hybrid) Canada’s top‑selling plug‑in hybrid SUV gets a significant mid‑cycle refresh for 2026, including a larger battery for extended electric range, updated interior and exterior details and enhanced sound insulation. This PHEV continues to appeal to buyers seeking a versatile SUV with strong winter‑condition capability and electrified performance.

Mercedes‑Benz CLA (all‑electric compact sedan) Mercedes‑Benz expands its electric lineup in Canada with the 2026 CLA compact sedan built on an advanced 800‑volt electric architecture. The new EV promises ultra‑fast charging, refined luxury tech and an efficient footprint ideal for urban and suburban Canadian driving.

Mitsubishi all‑new battery electric vehicle (BEV) As part of its Momentum 2030 strategy, Mitsubishi has confirmed a new all‑electric vehicle will be introduced in Canada starting summer 2026.

This model, sourced from an alliance partner and positioned alongside the refreshed Outlander PHEV, marks a major step in Mitsubishi’s electrification push in the Canadian market.

A refined approach to

personal style

Personal style does not require constant shopping or dramatic change. It is built through small, intentional choices that make getting dressed easier, more confiden and more aligned with real life.

T

he start of a new year is the perfect moment to refine how you dress by focusing on what works, what flatters and what feels authentic. The following practical style strategies help translate intention into everyday dressing.

Build outfits around a strong base A refined look begins with reliable foundations.

Well fitting trousers, structured blazers, versatile knitwear and clean footwear create a framework that allows for variation without confusion.

Neutral tones such as black, ivory, navy, camel and soft grey mix effortlessly, making it easier to assemble outfits without overthinking. When the base works, styling becomes instinctive.

Use proportion to elevate simple looks Understanding proportion is one of the most

effective styling tools. Balance fitted pieces with relaxed ones, such as pairing tailored pants with a soft knit or a structured jacket over a fluid dress. Cropped jackets lengthen the leg line, while longer outerwear adds elegance to streamlined silhouettes. Small adjustments in proportion instantly refine an outfit.

Let accessories do the work Accessories are where personality lives. A quality belt defines shape. A statement bag or watch adds polish. Jewelry should enhance rather than compete. Choose one focal point and keep the rest understated. This approach maintains sophistication while allowing individuality to shine through.

Prioritize fit over trends Clothing that fits well always looks intentional.

Tailoring trousers, adjusting sleeves or refining hemlines can transform everyday pieces into polished essentials. Fit communicates care and
