On June 25, 2005 The Globe and Mail reported, "The Toronto Zen Centre, founded in 1968 and incorporated in 1971, is Canada's oldest centre for Zen practice. It marked a major milestone this month when Mr. Henderson, who helped found the centre, was installed as its first Canadian abbot and resident teacher to a community that, with children, numbers about 160 members. That makes Taigen Henderson something of a rarity -- there are only a handful of North American-born Zen Buddhist priests."
