BATHINDA: The Brampton city council has passed a unanimous motion to pay tributes to slain Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh ‘Sidhu Moose Wala’ by putting up his giant mural, since he had moved to this little Punjab within Canada in 2017.
On June 8, when thousands assembled in Punjab for the singer’s memorial service, the council passed the motion moved by regional councillor Gurpreet Singh Dhillon and city councillor Harkirat Singh. Punjabi community had requested the council to find a site for this mural, which a local South-Asian-origin artist will paint. They will also plant a commemorative tree and consider the singer for inclusion in the Brampton Walk of Fame.
Community representatives Remedie Brar and Gurneer Dhillon, who moved the proposals to a committee, recognised the community’s grief and support for the initiatives to honour Sidhu.
