Indian pensioners to get life certificate in Toronto

The camps will not only hand over the certificate of honour but also be primary point of contact for the people of Indian origin as well as Indian citizens in Canada to voice their opinions, questions, complaints and feedback towards the consulate.

Dinesh Bhatia, Consular general of India in Toronto, in an earlier press conference said, “My aim is to reach out to all Indians in Canada and help them to get a free and fair services from the Consulate.”

The planned camps will therefore be a good place for Indians to connect with their Consulate apart from receiving the certificates of honour.

On Nov 5,  in association with the Halton Sikh Cultural Association the event will take place at the Halton Regional Police Headquarters from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

On Sunday, Social Services Group, Brampton will help the Consulate to arrange the camp at Guru Tegh Bahadur International School from 9 in the morning till 4 in the evening.

On Nov 12, the Golden Triangle Sikh Association will associate with the consulate to arrange the camp at Gurudwara Sahib from 10 in the morning till 2 in the afternoon.

There will also be another camp on Nov 12 at the Brampton based Cherry Tree Public School, in association with the office of MP Sonia Sidhu from the usual 10 a.m. to 2p.m.

The Indian Ex-serviceman Association of Ontario will aid the consulate to arrange its last camp in the Greater Toronto Area of Mississauga on November 19 at Lincoln M. Aleaxander Secondary School from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
