Welcome
to Bangladesh Buddhist Association of Canada! HistoryA
history of being today’s BBAC: Ø
The roots of today’s Bangladesh Buddhist
Association of Canada reach back to the early Eighties, when members of Buddhist
community along with other communities from Bangladesh started to immigrate to
North America, especially Canada. Since then, realizing the importance of
involving in different socio-cultural events with others; ensuring and
maintaining religious activities several
efforts have been taken. Ø
Years later, in 2007, the organization was
formed and named as the Bangladesh Buddhist Association of Canada, Toronto,
Ontario, which remained strongly focused on the specific issue of community
build-up through socio-cultural and religious activities. Ø
Eventually, in 2008, an independent corporate
structure was established by receiving approval from the federal and provincial
regulatory authorities, which allowed us to work with greater force and
responsibilities. Ø
Today, BBAC is one of the comprehensive
community organizations in North America, which in the mean time, has
participated in helping the distressed and cyclone victims of Myanmar.
