Past Event Gallery

We invite you to take a look at some of the wonderful images that came from community events, which were held in order to bring the communities of Ottawa together to remember, thank, reflect, and imagine.

To celebrate Vesak and Poson, the Sri Lanka Canada Association of Ottawa (SLCAO) hosted an in-person event that consisted of Vesak-Koodu (lanterns) displays, singing of Bakthi Gee (devotional songs) and a Dansala (free meals). This was the first event after 2 years of the COVID pandemic to celebrate the month of Vesak and to enjoy freedom from the isolation, stress, and mental distress that was faced by young and old.

There were about 200 people at the event and food was served to everyone. Please see the pictures, which show the young and older performers giving blessings to everyone by way of devotional songs!
