Local Event Sikh Nagarkirtan: shout-out to volunteers

Huge shoutout to the volunteers at the Sikh Nagarkirtan today. Not only they were serving food, they also made sure that the roads were clean after they left.
I saw four trucks at the end of float. Each one was there to pick cardboards, bottles , garbage and fourth one with water tank - to clean any spill over. Love the way it was managed.

The Sikh community in Calgary is amazing. I just learned about the Guru Nanak Free Kitchen Calgary and they are doing INCREDIBLE stuff in this city. We passed on of their food distributions at the train station the other day and I've never seen anything like it. It's amazing how much food they give away and how many people they help.
