ABOUT ECOSIKH CANADA

WE ARE PROUDLY CANADIAN:

 

Canada is a land of vibrant eco-systems that vastly contribute to the overall health of our planet.   We are the second largest nation across the planet with wooded land or forest.  The privilege of enduring four annual seasons makes our environment particularly sensitive to changes in the Earth’s temperature.  Canada’s  terrestrial land swallows large freshwater lakes and rivers while surrounding its east and west flanks by the world’s 2 largest oceans and a grand escarpment of artic glaciers that stretch the north.  

The combination of such majestic dimensions result in genuine beauty and picturesque  landscapes.  This gift to our nation comes with a great level responsibility.  Canadians must take ownership and care of our national treasures for sustainability of our planet and for our future generations to enjoy.

Canada’s temperature has increased at 2x the world’s rate, making impacts immense as we move further into this century and beyond.

SERVICE TO HUMANITY, HONESTY & RIGHTEOUS LIVING AND LOVE WAHEGURU (GOD) AND RESPECT ALL CREATION:

​

At EcoSikh Canada, we live in alignment to fundamental teachings of our 10 Beloved Gurus...

​

The fundamental principles of love, respect, honesty, integrity, equality, service to humanity, and rightful living.  To live this way is in whole, honoring and remembering God at all times and all that is He.

​

It is through these lessons, we align to Hukam (God's Will) and create positive action to provide a better world through our efforts.

EcoSikh has proven to be completely inclusive and diverse in our events through many mutli-faith and community partnership to make a better world for all.  We are one human race and all God's children.

​

As a response to Climate Change, Sikhs across the globe have followed our global initiatives of planting to honour Sikh faith founder, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, with Sacred Forests programs generating significant success in reforestation and afforestation.
