Canada’s first Indo-Canadian physician dies in New Westminster, at age 92
Toronto: Dr Gurdev Singh Gill, the first Indo-Canadian to start practising medicine in Canada in 1957, passed away earlier this week, leaving behind an unparalleled legacy of a Good Samaritan who contributed abundantly to the realm of healthcare, particularly in rural Punjab.
Embarking on his philanthropic journey, in 1995, Dr Gill led a movement along with the Indo-Canadian Friendship Society for taking care of people in villages of Hoshiarpur, Ropar, Nawan Shahr, Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Gurdaspur and Ludhiana. He was also associated with a clinic in Uttarakhand. Dr Gill was associated with the working of at least 27 clinics.
