The Sikh Games Canada 2025 opened yesterday at Tamanawis Park in Surrey and will continue until Sunday, June 29.
The event, which began in 2008 as a field hockey tournament, has grown into one of the largest multicultural sporting festivals in North America.
Organizers emphasized that the Games represent more than competition. “This event is built on the Sikh principle of seva, or selfless service. Athletes compete, but they also serve their community by building bonds across cultures,” said one organizing committee member.
Spectators told Connect FM they see the Games as both a celebration of sport and an expression of Surrey’s diversity. “It’s free to attend, and you see kids, parents, and grandparents all coming together. It feels like a family festival as much as a tournament,” said one local resident.
A large number of people from the area are also enjoying the event at Tamanawis Park located near 126 Street and 64 Avenue.
No tickets are required to enjoy the games. The Sikh Games Canada, which began on Thursday, will conclude on Sunday (June 29th).
