Attending the launch of the 23rd edition of SYA's summer camp at the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation, Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said it's an important event for Sikh youth in Australia.

"The summer camp has been run yearly for nearly 25 years. It's a great opportunity for young children and adults to learn more about the faith's history and culture," he said.
