Spreading the message about the event:

Advertisements are ongoing through 102.7 East FM and through Geethavaani radio stations.
There are also full page advertisements in local Tamil newspapers - Thangadeepam, Udayan and Senthamarai.
The Highlight of all the advertisements is that, three Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) buses that originate at the Markham area are plying everyday with the Jagannath Festival information at the back of the buses.
There is also a Billboard in the major intersection of Markham and Finch area that carries the message about the upcoming Jagannath Festival.
We kindly request you to spread the message about this event so that everyone can come to Milliken park on Aug 19th to partake the blessings of the Lordship.
The program schedule is as follows:
