SPREADING HKL AT RCMP EHQ SURREY, BC, CANADA
For the past five years, during the month of November, a buzz of happiness has filled the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's E Division Headquarters, nestled Happy Gurpurab in a quiet urban forest in Surrey. Over 2,700 specialist employ- ees of all ranks head toward the cafeteria to enjoy a coffee paid for by a handful of colleagues.
