For the past sixteen years, the Tamil Canadian Walk has raised over one million dollars, transforming countless lives through various community initiatives. This year’s Walk was dedicated to supporting the construction of a new building at York University’s Markham Campus, a cause close to the hearts of many Tamil Canadians who call Markham home. A renowned educational centre in the area will empower students to pursue higher education close to their families, eliminating the need to relocate for studies.

Mullai Fashion is more than just clothing; it's a symbol of resilience, tradition, and hope. The Mullai Handloom initiative was launched to empower Tamil women from Sri Lanka’s war affected North and East by training them in the art of handloom weaving and helping them earn an income of their own. Mullai Night was created to celebrate this vision and raise crucial funds to keep the project thriving and expand its reach to more women waiting for the same chance.
