Buddhist Compassion Relief TZU CHI Foundation Canada, or TZU CHI Canada in short, was founded by Mr. Gary Ho in 1992, through the inspiration of Dharma Master Cheng Yen, to inaugurate Tzu Chi’s good works and the spirit of Great Love in Canada.
In Canada, TZU CHI provides charitable services across our nation, focusing on senior care, child care, healthcare, environmental care, and care for the less fortunate, such as low income households, homeless, aboriginal women, and disaster victims. Currently, TZU CHI Canada has 9 offices coast to coast, with over 2200 volunteers contributing over 120,000 volunteer hours every year to serve all major cities, including Metro Vancouver, the Great Toronto Area, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal.
