His extensive work bestowed this pioneer with prestigious honours, some of which include Order of BC, Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal, The Sikh Award in Education and more than 60 local, national and international awards.

In Canada and beyond, his work impacted the lives of many as a volunteer, activist and educator. “I started volunteering by cleaning the smelling streets of my village at the age of 10. These days I am not cleaning the smelling streets, but cleaning the smelling societies,” he stated in his 2015 interview.

It was honour for DARPAN magazine to confer Dr. Raghbir Singh Bains with the Community Crusader award in 2014.

During the last years of his life, Dr. Bains was working on a cyber school that would give free coaching to students on topics such as English and Maths as well as drug addiction.

He was also named twice in the list of top 100 Sikh personalities in the world.
