Sikh Gurdwara: Metro Vancouver

Guru Nanak Dept: The signs on the traffic-filled thoroughfare in front of the exotic-looking Sikh gurdwara are strictly secular, announcing McDonald's, Blockbuster, Save-On Foods and Zellers, according to Vancouver Sun. Census Canada data reveals that many neighbourhoods in this Surrey enclave - which features scores of Sikh, Hindu and Muslim temples, masala restaurants and immigration lawyers - are concentrated along South Asian ethnic lines and the sign at the top of the giant oniondomed Guru Nanak Temple in Surrey reads: One God. The pulsing heart of the South Asian community in Metro Vancouver resides among this swath of brand-name outlets, large new homes, traffic-filled streets and tidy townhouses centred around west Newton, near the Surrey-Delta border.
