Dr. Singh immigrated to Canada from India in 1972. He had a long and varied career here as Professor, Psychologist, Program Consultant, principal and teacher. He was also active on several national committees serving as President of the National Association of Canadians with Origins in India (N.A.C.O.I.), as well as sitting on a National Advisory Committee to the Government on Aging, and serving on the Board of Directors at Mount Carmel Clinic. His passion for community service earned him the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002 for his contribution to the Sikh Community as well as Canada as a whole. His pride and joy were his wife and children.
