Muhammad Yaseen, Associate Minister of Immigration and Multiculturalism, Mr. George Chahal, M.P., Skyview, and Councillor Raj Dhaliwal, Ward-5 joined us to grace the event and spoke to the guests. We received overwhelming positive feedback from seniors and their families that they enjoyed this outdoor gathering.
