Whats Next For Rexdale Gurdwara
Writing by shinda on Thursday, 2 of February , 2006
For those of you who didn’t know, Rexdale Gurdwara, (on Highway 27 where Yudh was held last year), for the past while was involved in a legal struggle. Basically to spare the irrelevant details there are two committee’s A & committee B. Committee A is the bad guy in all this, and basically started to rob the golak causing the Sangat to create committee B. The whole court thing happened and it’s only a matter of time now before committee A is officially removed and the Gurdwara handed back to committee B, the Sangat. Right now everyone’s just waiting for the legalities to get sorted out, but judgment was awarded to committee B last week.
Now as I stated earlier Committee B is the Sangat. So this leads to what I’m really after, what will the Sangat decide to do with the Gurdwara now? The reason I even bring this up, is because there is already another Gurdwara 5 minutes away (old Rexdale), and the location of the Gurdwara in question is not all that desirable (its next to a strip joint), and people have been complaining about that for a while now.
Soooo, what will come of the Gurdwara when the old committee finally receives the boot?
If the Sangat decides to keep the Gurdwara, as a Gurdwara then I guess life will pretty much go on as normal. However I could also see the property and land being sold, and the money put back into the community, and I don’t really object to that.
But I was thinking, why not turn the inside into a gymnasium, install basketball courts add in some meeting rooms, and off course throw in a weight room for good measure.
It would be a convenient facility to have around for events such as Yudh, and even a good place and way to start other youth initiatives such as sports leagues (i.e. a Basketball leagues for youth etc.)
For maintenance and all that you could have a minimal cover charge, just enough to keep upkeep. It’s been a long time coming that the Sikh community get itself such a facility, especially at the rate that it’s been growing, so its about time we get something like a rec-center that is sponsored by the OGC or Sangat in general.
But then again that’s just my 10 cents. I’m sure everyone else has their own ideas.

Well, things have remained the same. Doesn’t look like they will change it/ sell it.
