Revelation Day of Khalsa celebration at Nathan Phillips Square.
Fabulous colours and smells.
And LOTS of people! The people came from around Ontario as well as some from New York state.

    I passed by on the Bay bus after church and the square was packed! So glad that it was such a nice day for everyone.
