Pam (Sekhon) Dhaliwal was born and raised in Punjab, until the age of 14 when her father, Avtar Singh Sekhon, moved the entire family to Edmonton, Alberta, because he had friends who had found good jobs there. For a few years prior to the big move, Avtar had done long stints working in England. Now, Pam’s son Mandeep has returned to take control of Avtar’s eight-hectare rice and wheat farm. (Image © J.
