Harjas Singh Popli is the founding director of Fateh Care Charity, a registered nonprofit based in Victoria, British Columbia, dedicated to serving the most vulnerable members of the community. Launched during the early stages of the pandemic in 2021 with his wife, Dr. Navneet Kaur Popli, Fateh Care began as a mobile food bank and has since grown into a compassionate movement supporting seniors, individuals with disabilities, newcomers, and low-income families across Victoria CRD.

With over 22 years of experience in human resources, Harjas holds a degree in engineering, an MBA, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Human Resource Management from XLRI, one of India’s leading institutions. He is a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) in Canada and also holds a Labour Relations Certificate from BCIT. He currently serves as an HR Manager at BAUCO Access Panel Solutions Inc, where he provides strategic guidance and people-first solutions.

His dedication to inclusive dialogue and community storytelling led to the creation of Fateh Care Times, a multilingual local newspaper that brings together diverse voices from Victoria and surrounding regions. As Editor-in-Chief, he uses the platform to highlight social issues, celebrate grassroots heroes, and advocate for unity in shared communities.

Harjas has been widely recognized for his leadership and impact. He was honored with the 2023 Local Hero Top Honor Award by Goldstream Gazette, the 2024 King Charles III Coronation Medal, and the 2025 Island Health Mental Health and Substance Use Community Service Award. Each of these honors reflects his deep commitment to social good, equity, and consistent, hands-on service to the community.

Under his leadership, Fateh Care continues to champion food security, health advocacy, and cultural connection—guided by empathy, fueled by volunteers, and rooted in the belief that no one should be left behind.
