Khalsa
Camp BC (Canada) took place from 26th to 31st August 2015. This was
the fifth successful year of Khalsa Camp BC. It was very impressive to see how the
camp has grown and developed over the years. The camp was well
organised and the atmosphere was inspirational! It was great to have
darshan of so many Gurmukhs this year.
This
years camp had a range of speakers which included Bhai Santbir Singh jee (Toronto), Bhai Jagjit Singh (UK), Bhai Shaminder Singh (BC), Giani Kulwinder Singh (BC), Bhenji Gurminder Kaur (BC), and Bhai Paramjit Singh Khalsa (Anandpur Sahib wale). Bhai Davinder Singh (California) also attended and held workshops.
I found the whole camp
amazing! Great atmosphere, great Gursikh speakers, and great Sangat. The
most memorable thing about the camp was the mosquitos and being bitten
over and over again and being swamped by mosquitos! Vaheguru!
The camp left a
very positive impression on my mind and I found it very uplifting and
beneficial. May Guru Sahib continue to bless the Sangat and may their
flourish in Gursikhi.

A lovely Gursikh that I share the week with at Khalsa Camp BC - Baba Harbans Singh Ji. Baba Ji had so much knowledge and wisdom and deep reflections on Gurbani, yet so much humility and also lots of humour. Vaheguru!
