In 2020, Raval’s community service earned him the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers from the Governor General, recognizing his contributions to immigrant support and cultural initiatives (Mr. Sunjiv M. Raval | The Governor General of Canada). Professionally, he has over 20 years of experience in business (retail and international trade) and has worked in Alberta’s public sector (according to local sources), giving him insight into economic and administrative issues. Raval is described by the Liberal Party as a “devoted community leader” with a “deep passion and determination to make life better for families in Calgary Midnapore” (Sunjiv Raval). His roots in the community and volunteer background form a key part of his campaign narrative as he positions himself as a fresh, local voice for the riding.
