Sikh Museum in Abbotsford

33094 S Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC V2S 2A8, Canada

Sikh Heritage Museum is Located in the National Historic Site Gur Sikh Temple.

The Gur Sikh Gurdwara (temple), where the Sikh Heritage museum is located, is a unique Canadian national heritage site. The temple was built by the first Sikhs who arrived in Canada from Punjab in 1905 — farmers and foresters under the auspices of the Khalsa Diwan Society. The heritage community allowed new immigrants to congregate, provide assistance to each other, practice their religion, and provide food and shelter to the needy.

When the Gur Sikh Temple turned 100 years old in 2011, the ground floor was converted to the Sikh Heritage Museum.

The museum houses a variety of artifacts, photographs, and documents that narrate the story of the Sikh community in Canada. Exhibits cover various themes such as immigration, settlement, and the contributions of Sikhs to Canadian society.

The Sikh Heritage Museum is open to the public, and visitors can explore the exhibits and learn about the rich history of Sikhs in Canada.

Museum is open seven days a week 9am-5pm
