Tam Kung Temple 3

Above is the altar of the Tam Kung Temple. Here devotees may perform a ritual to receive answers to problems that are troubling them. Behind this altar is a niche where the statue of Tam Kung is located. You can see this in the photo below. The University of Victoria has an interesting page on Tam Kung and this temple, the oldest Chinese Temple in Canada.
