A comment from a guest of Jalsa Salana Western Canada 2017:

“That event is an eye opener for me – What community is about. I really enjoyed the experience. I had several very thoughtful conversations with several people who are so open minded and supportive. The sense of community made me feel safe and felt I could share openly and be understood. The support expressed made me feel fulfilled when I left. I am very happy I took the opportunity.”
