Then NDP Premier Glen Clark was on hand to perform a special unveiling ceremony to the sounds of Dal Dil Vog's rendition of the popular song, The Greatest Love of All. The event raised $50,000 for Surrey Memorial Hospital's Here for Kids campaign.[3]

In 2010 Mehfil Magazine held its second gala dinner event where Montreal based comedian Sugar Sammy was the evenings emcee.[5]
100 Year Journey[edit]
In 2014 Rana Vig launched The 100 Year Journey - a community project committed to preserving the stories of the South Asian pioneers that helped to build Canada. A 150-page book of the same name was released on 29 November 2014 at a sold out black tie gala where 500 ‘movers & shakers’ of the community gathered to be part of an historic evening.[6] Among the attendees were British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and Federal senior cabinet Minister Jason Kenney who applauded the efforts of this unique inaugural publication and event.[7]
Community cruiser[edit]
In 1995 Mehfil Magazine launched a community cruiser designed to attend both mainstream and South Asian community events to interact with people and to educate them about the South Asian culture. A special magazine that highlighted the South Asian community's history was produced and distributed to all attendees at events that the cruiser and its street team attended.[citation needed]
Community work[edit]
In 2009 Rana Vig and his brother Minto established the Mehfil Magazine Endowed Journalism Award at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Committed to inspiring future journalists to reach their potential, the Mehfil Magazine Endowment was created to encourage discussion about what role or significance, if any, ethnicity and cultural background should have in contemporary journalism. The endowment, which started at $40,000,9 has grown to $100,000 through various contributions made by the magazine and by Rana Vig.[8]
