The Kitchen Where Compassion is Served
As dawn breaks over the sprawling grounds of Gursikh Sabha Canada, the kitchen is already alive with energy and purpose. Volunteers of all ages — elders, parents, and an impressive number of youth — move in harmony, bringing the Gurdwara’s community kitchen to life. Metal pots and pans clang in rhythmic hum, echoing off the walls, while the rich aromas of today’s dishes (rice, red kidney beans, and chickpeas) fill the air. Hymns flow softly in the background, a gentle reminder of the spiritual foundation underpinning every action in this space.
