Mr. Johal has been a successful real estate
agent in Calgary for over 20 years. Two years
ago, he complimented his real estate career
by opening up a printing shop in the Calgary
Northeast community.
Mr. Johal has been a leader in the Calgary
Sikh community. He was elected President of
Dashmesh Cultural Centre Calgary (the Sikh
temple in Calgary Northeast) for two consecutive
terms. As president, he was able to create
a strong relationship between the Calgary
Sikh community and the Calgary Police Services
as well as promoting other initiatives and
activities.
In 2000, Mr. Johal decided to take his experience
in the community to the political stage by
becoming an active member of the Liberal Party.
He was twice elected president of the Calgary
Northeast Liberal Association, and is now
taking his involvement a step further as the
riding’s Liberal candidate.
Mr. Johal is a strong believer and supporter
of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and
in the protection of rights of all minority
groups in Canada. Furthermore, providing real
help for seniors is an issue close to his
heart, as his father was in and out of the
hospital for over 25 years. Mr. Johal understands
that we enhance the quality of life for all
seniors, especially those with the most limited
means.
Through his personal and professional and
along with his community involvement, Mr.
Johal wants to bring the concerns of the Calgary
Northeast community to Ottawa, and act as
a strong voice for Western Canada.
Mr. Johal is married and is the father of
two children.
