Introduction

Chinmaya Mission Halton Region (CMHR) was incorporated in May 1990.

CMHR resumed its Chinmaya Bala Vihar classes and activities in the Burlington and Milton areas in 2010. CMHR presently conducts Chinmaya Bala Vihar and Chinmaya Study Groups in Halton, Grimsby, Hamilton, Oakville, and Brampton. Also offered are CHYK and Carnatic music classes in the Hamilton area.

CMHR has been an active member of International Development Work in Ghana, Bangalore, and Sidhabari since 1993, receiving financial aid from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Funding from CIDA ended in 2008 as CORD Sidhabari became self-sustainable. In May 2011, CMHR started its collaboration with CORD Sri Lanka to aid war and Tsunami stricken victims of Northern Sri Lanka. CMHR continues to support CORD Sidhabari and the orphanage at Chinmayaranyam.
