The Canmore Theravada Buddhist Community (CTBC) provides support to its four long term residents and the wider Buddhist community of practitioners and supporters. The support for the wider community comes in the form of weekly offerings of meditation and Dhamma study, regular opportunities to join the resident community for meditation, weekly opportunities to have one-on-one interviews, and occasional formal meditation retreats.
The CTBC’s resident teacher is Ayya Ahimsa, who has taught the EIM sangha at the Saturday Sits, plus a day-long retreat in June 2025.
