INCALCULABLE SPIRITUAL MERITS OF BUILDING A TEMPLE
Welcome to ISKCON Halifax
Current Facility
Halifax International Society For Krishna Consciousness is a registered charity organization since 2007. Currently we are organizing our weekly programs in a rental space at Centennial Arena, 27 vimy Ave. Over the past 3 years alone our cultural festivals have attracted over 12000 visitors from maritime, reflecting the community's growth and enthusiasm.However, existing rental space increasingly limits functionality and regular programs, creating dire need for a bigger and permanent facility. ISKCON Halifax is currently operating from a temporary facility while it works towards establishing a permanent temple. The temporary location serves the community's spiritual needs through regular worship, classes, and events, but it lacks the space and infrastructure required for larger gatherings and long-term growth. A permanent temple is essential for providing a dedicated space for daily worship, festivals, and community outreach. It will also support educational programs, serve as a cultural hub, and offer a stable environment for both current devotees and those interested in learning about the teachings of Lord Krishna. A permanent facility will also help foster a deeper sense of community and facilitate the continuation of ISKCON's mission in the region
