WSN Network

Toronto: An encyclopedist and museologist, Dr Raghbir Singh Singh Bains, was honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award 2007 in recognition of his worldwide community service at Baisakhi celebration function organized in Toronto by the Ontario Sikh and Gurdwara Council.

The gathering was addressed, among others, by Hon’ble Dalton McGuinty, Premier of the province of Toronto, Hon’ble Stephane Dion, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and Hon’ble Jack Layton leader of the NDP Canada.

All the speakers acclaimed the contribution of Indo-Canadians in building the land of Canada. Two Sikh students who excelled in the field of education were also honoured and awarded scholarships.

Dr Bains is a long time educator, community activist and crusader against drugs and AIDS.

Dr. Bains is the brain behind the Multimedia Sikh Museum at Khadur Sahib, near Amritsar, where he used the robotic and liquid crystal display technology to spread the message of universal love and peace.

He was honoured with the Order of British Columbia in 2005, the highest provincial award in Canada.
