Sikh Canadians are individuals in Canada who practice the Sikh faith, which originated in the Punjab region of India in the 15th century. The community is known for its rich cultural heritage, including distinct traditions, festivals, and values such as equality and community service. The Sikh population in Canada has grown significantly since the late 19th century, with many immigrants arriving for better opportunities. Today, Sikh Canadians contribute to various sectors, including business, politics, and education, and are recognized for their vibrant gurdwaras (places of worship) and community events, such as Vaisakhi celebrations.
