A new affordable transitional housing development for women and children in northeast Calgary is being proposed by the area's Sikh community, led by the Dashmesh Culture Centre. "The whole team is excited and we already have a lot of support in the community," Singh said. Amanpreet Singh with the Dashmesh Culture Centre says the proposed building would help the South Asian community and would be open to women of all backgrounds. "Our community struggles significantly with domestic and family violence," said another Sikh community member Remneek Kaur. She said the proposed project all ties in with the Sikh concept of Seva, or selfless service, and prosperity for all.
