A prominent businessman, philanthropist and
chairman of India Cultural Centre of Canada Gurdwara Nanak Niwas, and his wife,
celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on Dec. 8.
Asa Singh Johal and his loving wife Kashmir
Kaur Johal celebrated their special day with some friends, well-wishers and
members of the Gurdwara management committee.
The Johals are great role models for others,
said community activist Balwant Sanghera.
Asa Singh Johal, who just turned 96, keeps
himself very active and busy.
“All of us are very proud of Mr. Johal’s
generosity and wish him and Mrs. Johal a long, productive and healthy life,”
said Sanghera.
December was also a special month for Ubed
Singh Sidhu and his wife Nirmal Kaur Sidhu, who have also been active and
serving at the Gurdwara.
The couple celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary at a very well attended function at India Cultural Centre of Canada
on Dec. 14.
The Sidhu family hosted a kirtan and langar
(devotional and communal singing as well as a free meal) at the Gurdwara.
Sanghera read letters of congratulations from
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier John Horgan and Richmond MLA Teresa Wat,
among others.
Ubed and Nirmal were married at Samabula
Gurdwara in Fiji on Dec. 14, 1968 and they moved to Canada in 1975, and have
been living in Richmond with their family—Danny, Kelly and Jaya—ever since.
