The Buddhist Congress of Canada is one of the co-ordinators of an online GoFundMe launched Friday to assist families of the victims of the mass killing of six people, including a mother and her four children, in Barrhaven late Wednesday.

“Our wish is to raise ($200,000),” organizers wrote on the post. The fund has raised about $20,000 as of Friday morning.

“The financial support for the victims’ families will be coordinated through the local Buddhist Temple (Buddhist Congress of Canada, 1481 Heron Road, Ottawa, Ontario. K1V 6A6).

Donations can be made at the site (below) or to the Buddhist Congress of Canada (BCC) by way of cash, cheques made out to BCC or by “e-transferring money to the temple’s email with a small note that it’s for this worthy cause, so that we can manually add it here.”

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
