Tishkiran "Sunny" Singh praised for years of volunteer service in Canton Township

An unidentified speaker at a local meeting praised Tishkiran "Sunny" Singh for decades of volunteer work that the speaker said has "fostered unity, diversity, and understanding" across Canton Township.

"Tishkiran Sunny Singh, a true volunteer at heart, has spent many years fostering unity, diversity, and understanding across our community," the speaker said, then outlined Singh’s roles with local religious, health‑care and civic organizations.

According to the speaker, Singh moved to Canton in 2003 and previously served in lead management at the Gurdwara Singh Sabah of Michigan on Canton Center Road. The speaker said Singh volunteers at both of the township’s gurdwaras and acts as a point of contact for Canton Township to help connect ill or vulnerable residents with support.

The speaker said Singh has been a family patient advisor at Corwell Health in Wayne for more than 15 years and has served three years on the board of the Canton Chamber of Commerce. The speaker also described Singh’s involvement with Canton's Coalition for Inclusive Communities, where he works on accessibility and inclusion efforts with Canton Township staff.

Singh was described as a supervisory board member at Community Financial Credit Union and as vice president of the Pheasant View Homeowners Association since 2018. The speaker said Singh organizes a large team of volunteers each year for Canton’s Liberty Fest to make the event welcoming and inclusive.

The testimonial also credited Singh with supporting interfaith events, serving on planning committees for National Day of Peace and National Night Out, and helping to plan a local peace walk after a church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, that the speaker said was intended as a stand against intolerance. The speaker added that Singh helped with "get to know your neighbor" events at the Canton Public Library and advocates for the township’s parks and trails.

The remarks were delivered as a descriptive testimonial; no formal action or vote approving an award or appointment is recorded in the transcript. The speaker closed by calling Singh’s steady presence and collaboration "a vital force in shaping a more peaceful and inclusive Canton."
