Event Opportunity

I received an email from Chris Ng this week with a very exciting opportunity for our group to get involved in an event later in the year. Chris is organizing a forum in Toronto focusing on Buddhism and Health in Canada. The objective of the event is to bring to light the many benefits that Buddhist philosophy and practice has to offer the medical system. This forum will be a joint celebration involving local Sanghas and Toronto’s Buddhist temples.

The date and time of the event are still in the works but Chris is very interested in having our group represented as an active community organization focused on Buddhism and end-of-life care in Toronto. Chris is currently in discussions with prospective key-note speaker Dr. Linda Carlson from the University of Calgary.

Chris is keen to come to our next meeting and discuss this coming event. I think that this is just the type of opportunity that we were talking about wanting to be involved in.
