  • The name Diwali is a contraction of Deepava-li, which translates into row of lamps. Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas or dpas) filled with oil to sig-nify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.

    Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama, along with Sita and Lak-shmana, from his 14 year long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana. In joyous celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, il-luminated the kingdom with earthen diyas and by bursting firecrackers.

    SikhismBandi Chhorh Divas

    For Sikhs, Diwali is im-portant becuse it celebrates the release from prison the sixth guru, Guru Har-gobind Ji, (hence also called Bandi Chorr De-vas), and 52 other princes from the Gwalior Fort in 1619. The Sikhs cel-ebrated the return of Guru Hargobind by lighting the Golden Temple and this tradition continues today.

    Martyrdom of Bhai Mani Singh Ji

    An important Sikh event associated with Diwali is the martydom of the elderly Sikh scholar and

    stategist Bhai Mani Singh in 1737. Bhai Mani Singh was the Granthi (keeper/reader of Sikh scripture) of Harmandir Sahib (popu-larly known as the Golden Temple). He transcribed the final version of Guru Granth Sahib dictated to him by Guru Gobind Singh in 1704.

    Bhai Mani Singh assumed charge of Harmandir Sa-hibs mangement in 1708. In 1737, he received per-mission from Zakariya Khan, the then Mughal governor of Punjab, to hold a religious gathering of the Khalsa for celebrat-ing Bandi Chhorh Diwas on the auspicous day of Diwali for a large tax of 5000 Rupees. He expected to put together the required sum from contribution made by the Sikhs who would assemble that day. But on discovering Za-kariya Khans plot to kill the Sikhs during the gath-ering, he Zakariya Khan ordered Bhai Mani Singhs execution at Lahore. It is also believed that this event, along with other Sikh martyrdoms, gave further momentum to the Khalsa struggle for free-dom and eventual success in establishing the Khalsa rule in the north of Delhi.

    Uprising against the Mu-ghal Empire

    The festival of Diwali became the second most important day after Bai-sakhi, when the Khalsa was formally established

    by the Tenth Guru Guru Godind Singh inn 1699.

    The Sikh struggle against Mughal Empires atroci-ties on non-Muslims, es-pecially on Sikhs, which intensified in the 18th cen-tury, came to be centred around this day. After the execution of Banda Baha-dur in 1716, who had led the agrarian uprising in Punjab, the Sikhs started the tradition of deciding matters concerning the community at the biennal meetings which took place at Amritsar on the first of Baisakh and at Diwali. These assemblies were known as the Sarbat Khal-sa and resolution passed by it became a Gurmata (Decree of the Guru)

    Diwali is celebrated in various parts of the world, particularly those with large populations of In-dian and Hindu origin. These include countries such as Sri Lanka, Myan-mar, Thailand, Malay-sia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Mauritius, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Guyana, Surinam, Trini-dad and Tobago, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. With more and more Indians now migrating to various parts of the world, the number of countries where Diwali / Deepavali is cel-ebrated has been gradually increasing.

  • Canada Hosts Ninth Round of Negotiations Toward a Trade Agreement with European UnionA Canada-EU trade agree-ment will benefit Canadian workers, businesses and families in all regions of Canada

    The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of In-ternational Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today announced the start of a ninth round of negotiations toward a comprehensive economic and trade agreement with the European Union. This latest round of talks is scheduled to continue until Friday, October 21, 2011, in Ottawa.

    We welcome the Euro-pean negotiating team to Ottawa. Working alongside our negotiators, Canada and the EU are moving closer to an ambitious agreement that has the potential to boost two-way trade by 20 percent, creating prosperity and opportunity for Cana-dian businesses, workers and their families, said Minister Fast. These negotiations

    represent our most signifi-cant trade initiative since the North American Free Trade Agreement. With trade accounting for over 60 per-cent of our annual GDP, and with one in five Canadian jobs dependent on trade, a Canada-EU trade agree-ment is a key part of our governments job-creating, pro-trade plan.

    Canada and the European Union have held eight suc-cessful rounds of negotia-tions since the start of talks in October 2009. To date, significant progress has been achieved in such areas as goods, services, investment and government procure-ment.

    A Canada-EU trade agree-ment will benefit Canadian workers in many sectors of the Canadian economy, including, but not limited to, manufacturing, aero-space, chemicals, plastics, aluminum, wood products, and fish and seafood, as well

    as other commodity- and resource-based businesses.

    Some critics manufacture baseless fears and wilfully ignore the real benefits that a Canada-EU trade agree-ment will bring, said Min-ister Fast. The facts clearly show the real benefits of a Canada-EU trade agreement: a $12-billion annual boost to Canadas economy, a $1,000 increase in the average Ca-nadian familys income and almost 80,000 new jobs. In these globally uncertain economic times, an agree-ment with the European Union will help to protect and strengthen the financial security of hard-working Canadian families.

    In less than six years, Canada has concluded free trade agreements with nine coun-tries and is in ongoing ne-gotiations with many more, including India, with which a trade deal could boost Canadas economy by at least $6 billion.

    Fauja Singh becomes oldest marathon runner

    Fauja Singhs translator and coach Harman-dar Singh: Running has given him a new focus in lifeA 100-year-old Briton has become the worlds oldest marathon runner after finish-ing a race in Canada.Fauja Singh, from Ilford, east London, ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in eight hours, 25 minutes and 16 seconds.The record-holder hit the wall at 22 miles but soldiered on for another two hours and finished in 3,850th place, ahead of five other competitors.Mr Singh, who took up running 11 years ago after his wife and son died, trains every day by running 10 miles.His coach and interpreter Harmander Singh said Mr Singh was overjoyed. Earlier, just before we came around the (final) corner, he said, achieving this will be like getting married again.Hes absolutely overjoyed, hes achieved his lifelong wish.Born in India in 1911, Mr Singh was a farmer in the Punjab but moved to Britain in the 1960s.He puts his stamina down to ginger curry, tea and being happy.He holds the world record for the over-90 category after running the 2003 Toronto

    marathon in five hours and 40 minutes. His latest feat earns him another spot in Guinness World Records.On Thursday he broke another eight records for 100-year-old men by completing all eight distances ranging from 100m to 5,000m.Mr Singh said: The secret to a long and healthy life is to be stress-free.

  • Thakur Singh Banga came to Canada in the year 1906. During his early days he spent some time in Vancou-ver Island, New Westminster and Abbotsford. His fourteen year old son, Nand Singh Banga and his younger brothers Pritam Singh and Hardit Singh joined him in the year 1920. They began working along with their grandfather. The family also worked in Coombs on Vancouver Island and later moved over to the mainland Vancouver to work for the Mohawk Lumber Company in the city of New Westminster. Bimbs grandfather Thakur Singh, his father and uncle, his mother, his three sisters and two broth-ers, along with his uncle Pritam Singhs three sisters and two brothers all lived together in the two houses, which were constructed very close to each other, spread in about 4 acres. In 1938, Bimbs mother went back to India along with her three daughters and son Mohinder Singh to stay. Bimb and his elder brother Ajit Singh continued to stay in Canada with their younger Uncle Hardit Singh, who had earlier returned from Punjab and their grandmother. The family from Canada all got along very well with cousins in India. They returned to

    Canada after enjoying their stay in India for some time.

    The Banga family had a long associa-tion with the Gur Sikh Temple. Bimbs grandfather, Thakur Singh, while work-ing for the Thretheway lumber company at the end of Mill Lake Road carried lumber with other men after their shifts to the Gur Sikh temple site and helped construct the Gurdwara. This was done so that everyone in the community had a place to come, whether they were liv-ing in Langley, Chilliwack or Mission. The Banga family used to come to Ab-botsford from New Westminster quite often where they met Sunder Singh and Harry Singh. Harry Singh and his brothers became great companions to enjoy Abbotsford with and gelled well with the Banga brothers. Together they used to visit the Gur Sikh Temple every Sunday. They spent most of their Easter and summer holidays in Abbotsford, and looked forward to their visit to the Gur Sikh Temple. Sunder Singhs boys would pick them up from Queensborough and then they would all enjoy working in the farms of Sunder Singh or Harry Singh. According to Bimb, We enjoyed it out here in the country and went to the Gur-dwara, Gur Sikh Temple every Sunday. When there was a service at the Gurd-wara we definitely went there and en-joyed the congregation which gave a feel of a close knit family of Sikh people to us, here in Abbotsford. There were only a few families that lived in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, Mission and we all got together at this one Gurdwara. This was the closest Gurdwara for this area and everybody knew everybody. And, my Dad right from the days when he lived in Queensborough, in New Westminster visited the Gurdwara to help in cooking and the service there for all the years I can remember as a child.

    This article is part of a community-wide celebration in honour of the building of the National Historic Site Gur Sikh Temple (est. 1911). In celebration of the efforts of those first Sikh pioneers who helped to build our community, members from throughout the community will be writing weekly articles discussing various issues of Punjabi heri-tage, culture, youth, spirituality, and religion. If you are interested in contributing, please contact Navneet Sidhu at [email protected].

    THAKUR SINGH BANGAThe man, his family and the Gur Sikh Temple

    When the Banga family moved to Ab-botsford to live in the year 1951-52, they leased Harry Singhs farm for two years. The family bought cows and some of the equipment and established their dairy farm. Unfortunately, Harry Singh passed away and his children for some reasons did not lease the farm back to them. The Banga familys friend Ken Neil from Mission, Canadian Canners, suggested to him to use some of his land he had for dairy farming. He also built a barn for the cows. The family moved to Mission and remained involved in the business of dairy farming until the year 1958. Even when they were in Mission they continuously visited and participated in the activities of the Gur Sikh temple.

    According to Bimb, one of the leading Sikh couples who supported every one in Abbotsford, were the Tayaji and Tayiji of the Thandi family. I learnt most of my farming skills from Tayaji. From his way of farming, running the machinery, plant-ing, spraying, literally everything. And we enjoyed that life. They were like our parents, recalls Bimb. Bimb believes that it is crucial for the coming genera-

    tions to learn about Tayaji and Tayiji and pay their tribute to what they did for the Gur Sikh temple and our community in Abbotsford. They donated lumber, their time, andmoney to make sure that the Gur Sikh temple was kept in good shape and order.

    The Banga family is very pleased that the Gur Sikh temple is now officially declared as the National Historic Site of Canada. Bimb sharing his thoughts says, I hope this historical site, will give a little bit of insight to all the people not just some of the East-Indian people but all the people of Canada or whosoever comes onto the history of it. An in depth look at what the site really means to everybody here in Abbotsford and who-soever, and whoever grew up with in that environment of that temple.

    *This interview was given by Bimb Banga on behalf of his grandfather late Thakur Sing.

  • JATI SIDHU KICKS OFF CAMPAING BY ANNOUNCING HE WANTS VOTER TAX CREDIT

    If you vote in Ab-botsfords civic election, city coun-cil candidate Jati Sidhu thinks you should be rewarded.

    With the Abbotsford civic voter turnout at less than 25 per cent in 2008, Jati Sidhu is sug-gesting each household be granted a property tax credit of

    $100 to help boost the number of people ex-ercising their franchise. Because the voting pro-cess is tracked electroni-cally, Sidhu believes it wont be difficult to apply the tax credit in this election or in future ones.

    There are countries around the world where voting is mandatory, but

    I dont believe in impos-ing another law on our citizens, said Jati Sid-hu, who has been active in the community for 30 years as a businessman, farmer and advocate.

    I would rather give them an incentive to vote, to express how they feel about what is happening in the com-munity, he said.

    JatI Sidhu Kicked Off his Campaign on October 18th at the Legacy Building at the Exhibition Park in Abbotsford.

  • 40 more B.C. municipalities now using BizPaL

    Starting and run-ning a business in British Co-lumbia is easier thanks to BizPaL, an on-line business permit and licence service that saves time spent on paperwork and helps entrepreneurs start up faster.

    Today, the Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism), together with Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and In-novation, welcomed the launch of BizPaL to 40 additional municipalities in British Columbia.

    BizPaL is an innovative service that provides en-trepreneurs with simpli-fied access to information on the permits and licenc-es they need to establish and run their businesses. This unique partnership among federal, provin-

    cial, territorial and mu-nicipal governments is designed to cut through the paperwork burden and red tape that small busi-ness owners encounter.

    The BizPaL service in these 40 municipalities was developed through a partnership with local governments, the Prov-ince of British Colum-bia and the Government of Canada. Overall, 98 municipalities in British Columbia now offer the service.

    Quotes:

    Honourable Maxime Ber-nier, Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism)

    Our government is com-mitted to providing small- and medium-sized busi-nesses with the tools they need to succeed. BizPaL is a great example of our

    governments commit-ment to cut red tape so Canadian businesses can continue to do what they do best: innovate, create jobs and generate wealth in our communities.

    Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation

    Creating jobs is the B.C. governments number-one priority, as laid out in our jobs plan, Canada Starts Here. BizPaL is a fast, ef-fective tool that allows ex-isting and new businesses to spend less time filling out forms and more time innovating, expanding and ultimately, creating jobs for B.C. families.

    Linda Larson, vice-chair, Small Business Round-table

    BizPaLs single point of access for permit and licensing requirements is a valuable timesaver. The

    Small Business Round-table recommends that every community in B.C. adopt this service to the benefit of their entrepre-neurs.

    Quick Facts:

    The following 40 com-munities have adopted BizPaL:

  • Housing starts increased a much stronger than expected 15.0% to 658K

    annualized units in September

    Privately-owned housing starts in the U.S. increased 15.0% in September to an annualized pace of 658K units following a 7.0% decline in August to 572K (initially reported as 571K.) Market expecta-tions going into the report had been for a much smaller 3.3% gain to an annualized 590K. This months outsized pace of growth was driven mainly by a large increase in the volatile urban multiples component, and represents the fastest pace of expansion since April 2010, when the homebuyers tax credit deadline spurred construction. Regionally, increases were largely concentrated in the South and West, although all regions saw gains. In contrast to the increase in starts, building permits de-clined by 5.0%, to 594K from 625K in August (initially reported as 620K.) This retraces a 4.0% gain last month.The faster pace of housing starts in September was due mainly to increas-es in multiple starts, which jumped to an annualized pace of 233K from 154K in August, a gain of 51.3%. Singles also increased, but by a much smaller 1.7% (to 425K from 418K.) This offsets declines in both compo-nents in August (-2.8% and -16.8%, respectively.) On a regional basis, the South and West saw large increases of 15.7% and 18.1%, respectively, driv-en entirely by rebounds in the mul-tiples component (singles fell 9.4% in the South and remained flat in the West). The Northeast and Midwest also saw growth (12.7% and 9.3%, respectively), but this was driven by increases in single starts. The former region had been particularly weak in August, reflecting Hurricane Irene disruption to construction activity.Permits for new housing units de-creased by 5.0% from the 625K an-nualized units seen in August to an annualized 594K in September. The decline in September reflected a rela-tively small 0.2% drop in the singles component, combined with a larger 14.5% decrease in multiples. On a regional basis, permits increased in the Northeast and Midwest (up 4.9% and 0.9%, respectively) but declined in the South and the West (-7.0% and -9.0%.)

    Although this months reading indi-cated strong growth in housing starts, home building in the US still remains near the range of 500K to 650K that has prevailed since the start of 2009. Although we believe that residential construction will fall slightly from this months elevated levels, we still expect housing to provide a small positive contribution to GDP growth in the fourth quarter. Yesterdays homebuilder confidence report sup-ported this interpretation, with the largest one-month improvement in the index since April 2010, rising to 18 from 14 in September. Nonethe-less, both confidence and housing activity remain at depressed levels, as we continue to see constrained demand for new homes mainly due to strong price competition from the persistently high volume of distressed existing homes available for sale in the market. As a result, we expect that new home construction will continue to be range-bound over the near-term.Data details a.. Housing starts increased 15.0% to an annualized 658K units in Sep-tember. b.. The increase was mainly due to strength in the multiples component, which increased by 51.3%. Singles also inc
