THE volunteer group Punjabi Market Collective recently collaborated with Monsoon Festival to celebrate the community of South Vancouver. Community members came together for a free outdoor celebration in the Punjabi Market with stage performances, activities and prizes. Hundreds of people attended the four-hour inaugural event.

The community also got to see the recent work completed by the Punjabi Market Collective (PMC) volunteers to revitalize the neighbourhood, including some of this year’s murals. The two new murals are ‘Kohinoor’ by Jessie Sohpaul and ‘Jee Aayan Nu’ by Jag Nagra. This makes for a total of six murals for the community to enjoy.

So go down there and check out the murals and support the Punjabi Market. For more updates follow the PMC volunteer group on Instagram @punjabimarketyvr.
