Description
THE FORGOTTEN FRONTIER | ਕੈਨੇਡਾ ਦੇ ਅਣਗੌਲੇ ਸੂਰਮੇ: ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਪਾਇਨੀਅਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਦਾਸਤਾਨ 🏔️🪓
Beyond the bright lights of Toronto and Vancouver lies a 100-year-old story of grit and glory. Long before the modern wave of migration, Punjabi pioneers were carving a life out of the frozen wilderness of the Yukon and the remote timber towns of British Columbia. In this episode, we travel back in time to meet the men and women who faced extreme weather and systemic discrimination to build the foundations of the Punjabi-Canadian dream.
