Edmonton’s South Asian Community

People November 22, 2016

“Thousands of people from around the world including the Indian Subcontinent begin their own Edmonton story each year…and just as many marvel, muddle or suffer through its Prairie winters. They do so enabled by a spirit of co-operation, understanding and opportunity; a belief that Edmonton is for them.”
