The first museum on Vancouver Island dedicated to Punjabi Sikh history is now open in Paldi, north of Duncan.
The Paldi Historical Museum, which recently opened in one of the rooms of the Paldi Sikh Temple located west of Duncan at 23 Paldi Rd., explores the history of Paldi, an historic migrant mill town founded in 1916. The town’s story was the subject of the latest Heritage Minute production.
Singh, along with about 35 other shareholders, established a successful company mill town despite two devastating fires early in the settlement’s history. By 1927, Paldi’s population had grown to 1,500, of which about 150 were single working men, according to research from Historica Canada. The last of its residential buildings were torched in 2005 as fire-suppression practise for local fire departments.
It’s important to respect these early settlers, even with the understanding that they themselves were displacing First Nations peoples at the time, Bains said.
