Thousands gathered to celebrate Vaisakhi in South Vancouver Saturday. The festival marks the beginning of the spring harvest in Punjab and the creation of the Khalsa, a defining moment in Sikh history. As the CBC’s Troy Charles tells us, this year’s parade has increased security and police presence following last year’s Lapu-Lapu Day attack.
