On Saturday, October 12, 2019, 21 volunteers came out to clean up Gurmat Center's adopted park. Children of all ages and parents came together and collected garbage. After cleaning up, participants ate some snacks and participated in an active game of soccer. This group of volunteers is very special as their morning began at 7:00 AM at Simran club, followed by cleaning up Clearbrook park from 10:00 - 12:00 PM! Click here to see pictures!
To honour the great Shaheeds of the Sikh nation, Gurmat Center held its first ever Shaheedi Smagam Movie Night. Families gathered to watch the movie Kaum De Heere which follows the lives of Bhai Satwant Singh and Beant Singh. This movie night allowed Sangat to learn and reflect on the events of 1984. Children that attended this event received an extra entry in the grand prize draw!
On Saturday, October 19, 2019, Sevadars will be preparing hundreds of candy bags that everyone will receive on Shaheedi Smagam day. We would like for you to sign up to take part in this Seva. This is great event for children to get together, do Seva, spend time in Sangat! See details below:
As in the past 16 years, Gurmat Center will be remembering the great Shaheeds of the Sikh nation at the 17th Annual Shaheedi Smagam. Gurmat Center’s goal has always been to promote the message of Sikhi and to remember the legacy of our brave Shaheeds. The Shaheedi Smagam is always held on the 31st of October so our youth can spend a wonderful evening with Sangat.
For the 40th GCY event, the youth explored the topic of Sikh destination weddings, followed by an hour of basketball fun. Dinner consisted of Shahi Paneer Chaul, salad & Kheer! Stay tuned for the October event announcement. If you are in grade 9 or higher, we’d love to have you come out and join us!
Next event will be taking place on October 5, 2019. Click on the first link below to see the GCY schedule.
Gurmat Center students got the chance to participate in a Youth Gurmat Sangeet Smagam for Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s 550th Prakash Purab on Friday, August 23, 2019. Students performed Kirtan in Raag Goojari and Raag Sarang while also getting a chance to listen to many other Shabads in various Raags. It was amazing to see the youth sing Guru Nanak Dev Jee’s Bani in the same Raags Guru Jee composed the Bani in.

A big thank you to Sukhmani Kaur from @basicsofsikhi for visiting the Gurmat Center! Session 3 campers have been singing the Kiddie Sangat nursery rhymes throughout camp and have been so lucky to sing along with Bhanjee herself, as well as Gurprit Kaur from Malaysia.
