Following the closure at the Indian Consulate in Vancouver, a Sikh youth damaged the consulate in Toronto. 700 Sikhs then protested in front of the Toronto consulate much like what had happened at the Vancouver consulate. At the Toronto consulate, Sikhs who had left Punjab and India for Canada, burned the Indian National Flag. Toronto Metropolitan Police Officers were recorded saying that the unity brought in Canada at this time was miraculous. 2500 Sikhs had marched in the city of Calgary following the march at the Toronto consulate.
