Silent Auction Dinner & A Movie Fundraiser
You are cordially invited to... Join our community in the beautiful environment of Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada and enjoy a fantastic evening of mocktails, a meaningful movie, some delicious dining and auction fun!
The night begins in the community area with mocktails and appetizers. Then, the meditation hall doors opens and we are greeted by our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Chodor with a brief talk and introduction to the movie, Life of Buddha. Half way through the movie, we enjoy a delicious dinner and then continue with the second part of the movie.
Silent auction opportunities, along with a raffle, will jazz up the night. This is KMC Canada’s biggest fundraiser of the year, don’t miss it! Everybody welcome.
*Due to our dining room size, we will limit the dinner tickets to only 40 people, please register as soon as possible to not be disappointed.*

Temporary on-street permit parking in Toronto: Provided space is available, a temporary parking permit may be purchased by residents and their guests to park a motor vehicle on a street designated under the permit parking program of the city of Toronto. This program generally services those residential areas where driveways are not common. If you choose this option, please avoid parking on Crawford St. if possible. You may get a ticket as it is complaint driven and the residents have limited space for their own street parking on Crawford St.
