I just found out, there is a Fobana in Toronto on Labor Day weekend. Is anyone going?

Those from Toronto, can you please find out the timetable and more details so we can know and make plans?

The twenty dollar question is: Eta kon Fobana? Era nijeder modhhe golmaal kore Fobana ke bibhokto kore feleche. Very sad.

Every year there are three FOBANAs - very unfortunate indeed.
The main FOBANA for this year is going to happen in Miami, FL. The FOBANA committee has tried very hard this year to unify the community and go for only one FOBANA this year. They have succeeded to stop the NY FOBANA this year. Couldn't stop the Toronto one.
