The Gurdwara Sahib Quebec, located at 2183 Wellington Street in Montreal, is a significant Sikh place of worship and a central hub for the local Sikh community. It moved into its current building, a former church, in 1986, having originally started in 1983.
Key features
Worship: The Gurdwara offers religious services that include the singing of hymns (kirtan) and the reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh scripture.

Open Access: With residents living in the Gurdwara, it operates 24/7, providing continuous access for worshippers.
Equality and community: The egalitarian nature of Sikhism is evident, with everyone, regardless of gender or age, seated on the floor together during langar. This fosters a strong sense of community and equality.
Welcoming: The Gurdwara is known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, and visitors are made to feel at ease. Volunteers assist visitors and ensure their needs are met during meals.
