The Sikh Coalition announced the release of an updated and expanded version of the Gurdwara Security Toolkit on Oct. 16. The toolkit is available to all for free.
This toolkit includes information on resources and training provided by federal and state government agencies to help places of worship, including gurdwaras, minimize the risk of attacks.
The latest edition offers guidance on emergency preparedness, tips for security assessments, information on applying for security-related grants, and other key considerations. The update comes at a crucial time, as tensions between the governments of India and Canada affect diplomatic relations.
Aasees Kaur, Sikh Coalition senior program consultant, said, “Gurdwara security is not a one-time task but an ongoing responsibility.”
