AB 2: Partner Puzzle Teens in Canada: Naina – Shoot for the Moon! The text will inform you about the history and actual situation of Sikhs in Canada. Sikhism in Canada With 1.4 percent of Canada’s population, Sikhs are an established ethnic group in Canada. But that wasn’t always the case. The irst Sikhs ever to enter Canada were soldiers of the Hong Kong army regiment travelling through Canada on an oicial trip because of Queen Victoria‘s Diamond Jubilee. This was in 1897. Another group followed in 1902 and while visiting British Columbia, they became interested in the possibility of moving from India to this new country. But for a long time, the immigration of Siks was hindered by the Canadian government with several laws. For example, it was forbidden for children and women to immigrate to Canada until 1920. Ater this restriction was lited, the Sikh community in Canada and especially British Columbia began to grow as wives and children followed their immigrated husbands and fathers. Many of the new Indo-Canadians tried to adapt to their new surroundings - a process called “Canadianization”. They started to wear western clothes like suits and dresses, learned the new language and made eforts to participate in the Canadian society. Nevertheless they still had to live with discrimination by many Canadians and by the government. Up to 1947, Sikhs weren’t allowed to vote and for a long time, they were only employed on farms, in saw mills or building railways, receiving very low wages. However, the living conditions for the Sikh community slowly improved during the second half of the 20th century. New gurdwaras (Sikh temples) were built and another wave of immigration made the Sikh community grow fast. In 2002, the Gur Sikh temple in Abbotsford, British Columbia, was designated a national historic landmark and the year 2011 was declared the Centennial year for Canadian Sikhs. British Columbia is still the province with the highest number of Sikhs. There they form the largest non-Christian religious group. Almost half of Canada’s Sikh population lives in British Columbia. Some schools in Abbotsford and Surrey teach Punjabi (the native language of Sikhs). So, even if Sikhs still have to deal with racism and intolerance, they have become a highly visible part of Canada’s multicultural society.
