This gurdwara was founded in 1974 and is the oldest Sikh Temple in Hamilton area. However, its current lot was not bought until six years later. The congregation met monthly at Wentworth House at McMaster University. The current location was originally a school, which was eventually put up for sale and bought by the gurdwara committee members.​ The Sikh pioneers that came in the early 1960s were the main force behind reconstructing the gurdwara through their voluntary time. In 1981, it was a fully functional building. Most of the congregants who attend this gurdwara are elderly citizens. However, recently there has been a change in demographics. Many international Sikh students from Mohawk College and McMaster University attend the gurdwara. This gurdwara community has become a support network for these international students who are away from home. The gurdwara acknowledges that there needs to be different services provided as a result of the changing demographics.
