About the event

In 1908, the first Sikh Gurdwara in North America opened in Kitsilano. Located at 1866 West 2nd Avenue, this religious, social and political gathering place was situated next to homes owned by the South Asian community and the saw mills where they worked. Join Naveen Girn, Curator and Community Engagement Specialist and Paneet Singh, Filmmaker and Researcher for a walking tour that will retrace the living legacy of this important space for the South Asian community by pointing out lost, and still existing buildings that illustrate the intercultural past of Vancouver, the fight against racial discrimination, and the stories that still resonate today.
