I volunteered at the Museum of Nature in the fossil gallery. I think I talked to a million visitors, many of whom were there for the very first time. My husband walked up to Major's Hill Park to enjoy the buskers. He stopped at a booth where a group of Sikhs were teaching people about turbans. When he met me after my shift, he was wearing a beautiful red turban.
For Sikhs, turbans are symbols of equality and dedication to a life of truthful living and a high moral standard. While a turban serves to keep a Sikh's long hair clean and tidy, it is not a hat but a two meter length of cloth that must be wrapped and unwrapped every day thus serving as a reminder of a Sikh's core values. The colour, size and shape of a turban hold no specific meaning.
Tersh's bright red turban is very festive looking and perfect for Canada Day. Ken also wanted to celebrate so he got one too.
