Sikh Student Association

The University of Waterloo Sikh Students Association (SSA) is a club whose main goal is to learn the practices, traditions and beliefs of the Sikh faith. The SSA desires to produce conditions conducive to the further study, research and practice of Sikhism.

Services
The SSA holds discussion groups, weekly paath sessions, kirtans, guest speakers, Q/A periods and a variety of religious/language classes provided by fellow students.

As well, UW SSA attempts to participate in a wide range of multi-cultural activities both on campus, and within the Sikh community. In addition, the SSA organizes a number of intramural co-ed sports teams (Basketball and Volleyball, usually) and social functions (pool tournaments, bowling, etc.) and outings (dinners, horseback riding, skiing trips).

UW SSA also provides educational help (study groups, old texts, etc.) and holds one of the most successful on-campus events, 'Turban Tying Day', once a year.
