About Us

GUR AASRA Foundation Canada has been registered under the society act in British Columbia since 1999 and under the Canada Corporation act in Ottawa since July 2001.

Our main purposes are:
  1. To work for support and development (among needy children and youth) of religious, social, economic and educational fields in adherence to the sikh prayer (Ardaas), SARBAT DA BHALLA which means well being of all humanity.
  2. To promote and establish drug and crime free society particularly among children and youth.
  3. To create goodwill, harmony, unity and co-operation among all human beings equally.
  4. To promote well being of orphans, needy children and widows especially in naturally and unnaturally disaster-stricken areas.

Commitment to Canada and the Sikh Religion

  1. Canada is a multicultural country and supports the development of multiculturalism.
  2. We the Sikhs being proud Canadians must respect and maintain our identity (Turban, Kangha, Chunni, Kirpan, Kes or Hair, Karha and Kachhehra) with honour and dignity to be unique.
  3. We believe that the establishment of Sikh institutions would play a positive role in achieving cultural and religious harmony in Canada.
