In 2017, the Buddhist Council of Victoria (BCV) marks its 20 year milestone in serving the community and on the 25th of March, we are having a celebration. This event is to bring Buddhists, wider community and friends together, to share the journey and to celebrate achievements. There will always be more work that can be done, so will provide an opportunity to raise important funds for the BCV.
