Hakim Singh Hundal, a director of the Canadian-Indian Supply and Trust company left India for Canada in 1911 with his family--his mother, Bishan Kaur, and his four sons, Atma, Iqbal [Ikball], Teja, and Jermeja. The family spent two years living in the Hong Kong Sikh Temple awaiting immigration clearance to land in Canada. The family eventually arrived in Canada in 1913 after a barrage of appeals to all levels of government. The Hundal boys went on to become excellent students. They lived in Point Grey and attended Queen Mary Elementary and Prince of Wales High School, then on to the University of British Columbia.
