Weekly, it serves over 400 meals and has been doing so each and every Sunday for the past four years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6032530\" data-originallang=\"en\">The mission of the Sikh Sewa Society is to have an open platform for citizens of all ages, races, cultures and faiths, with a simple motivation of selfless service for the whole of humanity. The Sikh Sewa Society aligns its mandate with the core teachings of Sikhism, including working hard, giving back and serving our communities. Its actions are an inspiration to many Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6032531\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to extend kudos to the organization's volunteers and founders, including Peel Regional Police Officer Manjit Singh Basran, Gurjeet Singh and Parmjit Singh Aujla. Their profound dedication to the betterment of our community does not go unnoticed and is much appreciated.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6032532\" data-originallang=\"en\">In this new Parliament, may all of us in the House not lose sight of the importance of our role in serving those who have allowed us to serve them.</p>",
