Student and senior tickets are on sale at Stade Uniprix only.

His Holiness will speak on ‘Global Citizenship through Universal Responsibility,’ a theme chosen to honour last year's decision by the Canadian government to welcome 1,000 displaced-Tibetans living in Arunachal Pradesh, India to Canada over the next five years.

The CTC is offering reduced student ticket prices in respect of the wishes of the Dalai Lama that ticket prices be kept to an absolute minimum. Proceeds from the Talk will be donated to Project Tibet Society, which is overseeing the implementation of the immigration program to help resettle Tibetans living in Arunachal Pradesh to Canada.

The CTC chose this week to put student tickets on sale to ensure that students from across Canada visiting a great city to study would have an equal opportunity to hear from a great world leader at this once in a lifetime event.
