Image of a group of older people posing for a group photo.

Surjit Kaur sits in her living room on a floral-patterned sofa with family members on the left of the photograph, out of shot. Surjit Kaur is wearing a light blue salwar suit, an Indian women's attire, with a chunni covering her head. A kara is on her wrist, an iron bracelet that represents a Sikh's mission to carry out good deeds while on earth. Several family pictures are on the wall, with a flower basket hanging from the ceiling.

They are standing inside the Gurdwara's Darbar Sahib, the praying hall. George Ferguson and the unidentified man are wearing formal suits and rumāls. Indar Singh Gill is wearing a formal grey suit with a light-blue turban. Sheila Copps is wearing a red outfit, and her red head-covering is a chunni. In the background, people are sitting on the ground, covering their heads with turbans or rumāls.

On July 31, 2002, Abbotsford's Gur Sikh Temple was declared a National Historic Site of Canada. Indar Singh Gill (front row, second to the left) is outside the Gurdwara wearing a light-blue turban, a formal suit, and a yellow-and-blue "Khalsa Diwan Society VIP" ribbon. Right to Indar Singh is Heritage Minister Sheila Copps, wearing a pink salwar suit with a scarf, called chunni, around her shoulders. Indar Singh was the President of the Sikh temple in 1951 and then again in 1979. There are several South Asian Canadian men crowding around them. In the background, there is a yellow pole called a Nishan Sahib, a yellow Sikh flag that marks all Gurdwaras.

Indar Singh Gill is dressed in a formal suit and a light-blue turban. The background is in the front yard of a white house. There are red and yellow tulips, green grass, and a cherry blossom tree.

Indar Singh Gill is seated outside a house's front yard on a chair. On the chair next to Indar Singh is a chest that Indar Singh is holding. Indar Singh wears a formal grey suit, a red-patterned tie, and a blue turban.

Bachan Kaur is sitting on an armchair in her home near a window. Her head is covered and she is wrapped in a blanket.
