At tonight’s City Council meeting, I gave public comment opposing the city’s proposal to cut funding that allows youth K-12 to ride Regional Transit (RT) for free. Free RT helps children get to
and from school, helps them to embrace public transit, and supports a green future.
BREAKING | The Maharashtra govt, in a move widely seen as govt overreach & interference in Sikh institutions in India, will now appoint 12 of 17 members in the Takht Sri Hazur Sahib management board. @SGPCAmritsar has denounced the move, which is seen to dilute Sikh representation.
"This decision of Maharashtra Government’s council of ministers led by @mieknathshinde is a direct interference in Sikh Gurdwara affairs, which cannot be tolerated by Sikh community. Maharashtra Govt’s decision to increase the number of Govt nominated members and reduce the members of Sikh organisations in Gurdwara Board is an act to take direct control of Sikh shrines. No advance consultation has been done with Sikhs before proposing such an amendment in the ‘The Nanded Sikh Gurdwara Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib Board Act, 1956’," @SGPCPresident shared in a statement.
Happy Gurpurab! Today Sikhs around the world are celebrating the birth anniversary of the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. A masterful poet and warrior, Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa Panth, giving Sikhs their distinctive look & invoking a deep commitment to justice.

Jora Singh Nahal, a 14-year-old grade 9 student from Vancouver, won the 2023 Young Innovator of the Year Award and $5,000 cash prize last week, at the Youth Innovation Showcase organized by the Science Fair Foundation BC, for his innovative project: A Novel Soap Recycling Embedded System for Greener Hospitality.
Globally, hotels throw away millions of partially-used soap bars everyday that end up in the landfill and cause pollution, economic loss, and wastage of our precious natural resources; and currently there is no practical solution for this.
Due to Jora Singh’s personal experience, as his family owns hotels before he was born, Jora Singh was inspired to solve this global problem with his passion for technology and coding. He created a novel soap recycling device that recycles wasted soaps into a soapy solution, right at source (in the hotels itself), that can be added to the hotel’s existing laundry system via tubes along with other cleaning supplies; and it has many other applications as well.
Jora Singh’s brother, Jodh Singh Nahal, who is a UBC engineering Presidential Scholar student, mentored him. Both brothers have been doing regional and national-level science fairs and math competitions since a very young age and have won more than 5 dozen awards and scholarships.
Other than academics, they both are multi-sport athletes and have played 5 sports for school’s sports teams. Also, both brothers (Jodh Singh and Jora Singh) play harmonium and do shabad-kirtan on Sunday mornings at Gurudwara Sahib, for the past around 8 years.
“What Kobe represents is the absolute pinnacle of challenge in my profession. He made me feel the most alive I ever did on the basketball court. I knew I had to be at my absolute best. If I wasn’t, I was in serious trouble. Even when I was, I was in serious trouble. Nothing in my life has even come close to replicating that."
