Jean Yip

Liberal
“A new Hindu temple opened in my riding. It is the first traditional black granite temple of its kind in Canada. I want to congratulate the community that built it.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a historic milestone in my riding of Scarborough—Agincourt. Earlier this week, the Sri Varasiththi Vinaayagar Hindu Temple celebrated the consecration of the first traditional black granite Hindu temple of its kind in Canada. Built according to ancient south Indian traditions, it has been hand-carved by skilled artisans for over five years, with each granite stone carefully shaped and assembled here in Canada. Made possible through the generosity and dedication of its community, this project is a spiritual home for thousands and a lasting contribution to Canada’s multicultural fabric. I give my heartfelt congratulations to all those whose vision and devotion made it possible. This remarkable temple will stand for generations as a beacon of unity, culture and faith.
