Presented by FRE8

Join 300+ of Canada’s most influential leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers for an unparalleled celebration of heritage, excellence, and growth. On May 2nd, the Punjabi Chamber of Commerce invites you to IKON Mississauga for the BELONG Gala—a night dedicated to redefining the professional and social fabric of the Punjabi diaspora.

As a community-funded organization, this gala is the heartbeat of our mission. It is more than an event; it is the moment we lay out the official roadmap for the Punjabi Chamber across Canada.

Belonging is not a privilege—it is a right. This year, we celebrate the six pillars that define our collective journey:

• Build genuine relationships.
• Empower through shared stories.
• Lead with purpose.
• Open doors for others.
• Nurture every voice.
• Grow as one community.
