A Day of Connection: Vancouver’s Indian Diaspora Event

A Day of Connection: Vancouver’s Indian Diaspora Event

I am honored to have attended the Diaspora Day event hosted by the Consulate General of India in Vancouver on March 15, 2025. This vibrant gathering brought together members of the Indian diaspora from across the region, celebrating our community’s rich cultural heritage and contributions to Canadian society.

From L-R. Vandna Sidher, Founder of Vivek Educational Foundation of Canada Mr. Harmesh Sidher, Consulate General of India, Vancouver Mr. Masakui Rungsung, Neeraj Kumar, & Alekha Sinha.

Many friends from the Vancouver Indian Community attended the prestigious event. I left the event with a renewed sense of pride in our Indian heritage and a deeper appreciation for the vibrant community we have built in Canada.
