Ephemera update

By Yönten, on November 12th, 2009

Here are the records of many significant Vajrayana events in Toronto between 1998 and 2002. As you can see, it is a great start, but very incomplete. We owe it to future practitioners and historians to complete this record for all Buddhist faith communities across Canada in years gone by. Your contribution of information is welcomed.
