In preparing our 2010 directory of Canadian Buddhist organizations for www.canadianbuddhism.info we have come across a number of centres that appear to have closed, or which at least do not have valid contact information.
While it is true that all things must pass, it seemed appropriate to honour these organizations even if they no longer exist since they have in their own ways made contributions to the development of Buddhism in Canada.
