In 1976 Book City opened its doors to the people of Toronto. Situated in the Annex, one of Toronto's great neighbourhoods, it has been treating its customers to an eclectic range of books ever since. Toronto bibliophiles must have liked us, or our books at any rate, because thirty-five years on we have four store locations across Toronto.
BookLand Press is an independent Canadian publisher of a wide variety of quality literature. Our interests range from contemporary poetry to beautifully written fiction and creative non-fiction. We are particularly interested in work that is different, exciting, and awakens us to the angles of the world we haven't noticed before. Fresh. Insightful. Provocative. Multicultural. These are some of the words that describe the kind of books BookLand Press seeks to publish. We strive to present literature with topics that are relevant to the needs of today's Canadian society. We believe books can be one of the most effective ways of sharing life-changing topics for people of all ages and backgrounds. BookLand Press is committed to excellence; excellence in our range and quality of publications, excellence in dedication to our authors, and excellence in service we provide to our readers
Snow Lion provides meditation classes and lectures in an effort to provide our community with a helpful and safe environment to explore various types of meditation practices. Participants will have an opportunity to connect with different teachers and teaching centres. Our lectures follow a theme each year built on previous themes dealing with the human condition. Our lectures and presentations are not necessarily Buddhist in content although all guided by the values of wisdom and compassion. Each of our presenters are speaking from the point of view of their own personal journey along paths within Buddhism as well as contemplative Christian, Sufic and other traditions.
