Our History

Here we will tell the story of the beginnings of our temple, Watt Khmer Santivararam, and how we became what we are today.

Our temple was founded on December 4, 2004 by Ven. Thach Dhamma Truong and people in Windsor, Essex County and Leamington who are looking for a place to practice their faith with Buddha. There has been improvement to the building, inside and out, but there is still a need for room and space for the temple. However, we are proud of our temple that is still the base for the building we currently are in.

With each challenge we have encountered, we became stronger in our faith. We may provide links to other sites that provide more detail on our temple history or particular events in our past.

Here are some photos from 2007 and 2008 Khmer New Year, Pchum Bin festival, Kathin festival and Choul Vosa festival activities as the memory of our temple.
