Dear Gurdeep- I am so glad that your country recognizes what a treasure you are! A million blessings to you and may the joy you have given to us return to you many times over.

Gurdeep you are so worthy of all the recognition you get in what ever form it comes. Your spirit is felt wherever you go or in what ever you write. Your words and dance inspire us all to strive to become better people in our thoughts and actions. You teach us how our humanity joins us together in every way, you force us to look deeply into our souls and expose us to who we can be if we just believe that we count, just as our fears, sadness and all that we experience. You teach us that happiness and joy is up to us to carry even though you may feel a little low or are going through tough times. You teach us that you never give in to negative thoughts or feelings, let them exist along side of us in that they also deserve to be recognized however they must be only visitors that shouldn’t over stay their welcome. Thank you for caring so much for all of us, there aren’t many of us that would take on such an onerous task. Keep doing what you are doing because it counts.

Love this. Congratulation, Gurdeep. The GG couldn't have pinned that medal on a nicer guy. Who'da thought one man dancing in the Yukon would bring so much joy to a whole country?

This is not just a post. I could feel the gratitude in each word you’ve written. All I want to say is: THANK YOU for taking that “unusual decision” of moving to the Yukon, and as everyone says, the rest is history.

Feeling so joyful and proud of you, dear friend. I wish that smile keeps on growing more… Congratulations again! 🎊🙏🏽
