A new exhibition highlighting the contributions of Sikh servicemen to Canada has arrived in Manitoba. Titled 'A Sikh Century of Service,' the display was launched at Maples Collegiate in Winnipeg on April 25, 2026.
Exhibition Details
The exhibition features archival records and artifacts that document the long history of Sikh military service in Canada. It aims to educate the public about the sacrifices and achievements of Sikh soldiers who served in various conflicts.
Harrison Shin of CTV News Winnipeg captured the launch event, noting the significance of bringing this history to Manitoba. The exhibition is expected to tour other locations in the province.
Community Impact
Local community leaders and educators praised the exhibition for shedding light on a often-overlooked part of Canadian military history. 'It's important for young people to see the diverse faces of those who served,' said a spokesperson for the organizing committee.
The exhibition will remain at Maples Collegiate for several weeks before moving to other venues across Manitoba.
