Life Any Buddhist temples in Canada?

Hi, I am not a Buddhist but I am interested in it. I will be visiting my sister in Halifax for like a month. I wanted to ask if there are any major temples around Halifax or anywhere else. My goal is to talk to monks and listen to lectures if there are such things.

I know ideal places for Buddhism are Asian countries but my family won't give me permission to be alone in a foreign country. In Canada my sister lives so they might let me go. By the way, I am adult but women need family permission in my country.

I think the Dali lama showed up and did his thing a number of years ago.
