Sukhdev (Sukhi) Grewal completed both Bachelor's and Master's of Sciences in Nursing degrees at the University of British Columbia.

She is the recipient of many awards, including, Vancouver's Cultural Harmony Award from the City of Vancouver for conducting many cultural events and workshops with them, the Times of Canada Excellence Award, and City of Vancouver's award for Honoring Women in the Year of Reconciliation.
Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is a major religious festival celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs, and translates to "the Festival of Lights." The festival lasts five days: the first day is known as Dhanteras; followed by Choti Diwali; Lakshmi Puja, which is the main celebration; Govardhan Puja; and finally Bhai Dooj. The festival is typically marked by the cleaning and decorating of homes, as well as the lighting of diyas and rangoli designs. Each region in India and religion has their own manner of celebrating Deepavali and their own gods to be worshipped.
