Baha’i Councils were first instituted by the Universal House of Justice in 1997. The Ontario Bahá’í Council is made up of nine members who are elected by Local Spiritual Assemblies each year on the Day of the Covenant.
Responsibilities of the Bahá’í Council include devising and executing expansion and consolidation plans in close collaboration with the Local Spiritual Assemblies and the believers; dealing with both teaching and administrative matters; appointing, directing and supervising the work of a number of area or district teaching committees; and formulating an annual budget for the region and operating a regional branch of the National Fund.
The training institute is responsible for raising up human resources for service and community building across Ontario. The programs of the training institute enable individuals of all stages of life to see themselves as walking a path of service. These programs include study circles, the junior youth empowerment program, and children’s classes.
