Local Sikh Organization Participates in Regular Community Service Activity

'We have a lot of responsibility': Sikh community members teach legislators about significance of the turban.

Regina’s Sikh community came to the legislative building (Friday April 8) to teach about the significance of wearing a turban.

Members of the Sikh community were careful about colours as they wrapped turbans on some members of the Saskatchewan legislature.

“We have a lot of responsibility,” said Hem Juttla, a member of the Sikh community that was present for the turban tying event. “The responsibility means you don’t just tie a turban and walk around. We defend the oppressed.”

Local Sikhs practise responsibility by serving 1200 meals every Sunday from a street corner in North Central Regina.
