Our History
The Ontario Khalsa Darbar Gurdwara Sahib, located on Dixie Road in Mississauga, was officially established in 1978. Through the support of the Sikh community, funds were increasingly gathered, leading to the acquisition of land and the construction of a building, which was completed in 1988.
In 1973, the Sikh community embarked on a significant journey by acquiring around 1.9 acres of land, which featured a modest farmhouse, with the intention of founding a Gurudwara in Mississauga.
