My vision for grande prairie

Our Community's Future is Our City's Business.

I immigrated to Grande Prairie over 40-years ago, and since I landed in this community, I have built businesses that now employ over 300 local Grande Prairie residents, including the Revolution Auto Group, Paradise Inns, Southwood Trucking, and more. It is my priority to bring more business acumen to our city to make sure it runs more smoothly, with you, our residents in mind.

My family is firmly rooted in this community, and I couldn't imagine having raised my kids anywhere else but here. The legacy of this city lives in my kids and grand kids, and I want that same pride to be felt by the community as a whole. In 2016, my wife Shaminder and I, alongside the Sikh community, raised over $200,000 for the new hospital's trauma room. I served on City Council from 2007-2010 and 2017-2021, and I have also served on the Chamber of Commerce board for many years, alongside many other community contributions.

What we build now for this community will have an impact for years to come, from developing better programming through our college and more trades training, to increasing grant opportunities, education will be a key priority when I am elected.

This won't be my first go at City Council -- I was elected back in 2007 and served through 2010, then again from 2017-2021. My experience in politics (I am well versed and involved at many political levels, from municipal through provincial and federal politics), business, and my deep investment in community building make me qualified and ready for the job. 

My commitment to this community is fierce, and I hope you'll give me the honour of representing you all once again.
