The
Sikh Motorcycle Club of Ontario made eight different stops Saturday 25th July ,
including Windsor, LaSalle and Leamington, to thank first responders for their
efforts through the pandemic.
About 30 members of the
Sikh Motorcycle Club of Ontario made several stops across Windsor and Essex
County on Saturday 25th July to give thanks to first responders for their
ongoing efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Included among their
stops were Windsor Regional Hospital, the city’s downtown police station, Erie
Shores Hospital, plus visits with OPP, fire and EMS leaders in Tecumseh,
LaSalle, Amherstburg, Kingsville and Leamington.
“The Sikh community always
wants to say thank you — it’s part of their principles,” said Jeewen Gill of
Windsor, who helped organize the motorcycle ride. “We try to say thanks
throughout the year, but we thought during the pandemic the first responders
should be appreciated even more.
“We thought this was
one way to make presentations to first responders to let them know we are proud
and thankful for their services.”
The Sikh motorcycle group
travelling the area included riders who were half from Windsor and the rest
from the Toronto area.
“It’s a tough time for
everyone, but we appreciate how all these workers are coming forward to lend a
hand for whatever people need,” Gill said.
The Sikh motorcycle
group was planning a similar appreciation ride today Sunday26th July in Guelph.
