Expanding Sikh Studies at UCalgary

"When we arrived in Canada, this was beyond our dreams. With your support, it will become our legacy."
— Balihar Singh Dhillon, Sikh Society of Calgary

Since 2016, the Sikh community and the University of Calgary have worked together to build trust, foster understanding, and create a shared vision for Sikh Studies. Now, we’re taking the next step—establishing UCalgary as home to the most comprehensive Sikh Studies program in North America.

With a permanent teaching professor position already secured through a ~$2M investment from the University of Calgary, we’re advancing to the next phase: endowing a research professorship in Sikh Studies. This will drive cutting-edge research, enrich undergraduate and graduate education, and deepen community engagement for generations to come.

Your donation today is an investment in the future. Together, we can build a lasting legacy for the Sikh community in Canada.

Give now and be part of history.
