Bangladesh Canada Hindu Cultural Society (BCHCS) & Bangladesh Canada Hindu Mandir (BCHM) is one of the largest Hindu temples in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Bangladesh Canada Hindu Cultural Society (BCHCS) was formed in 1995 with a goal to provide a common platform for local Bangladeshi Hindu community members to practice spiritual and cultural activities. since then, BCHCS is providing social support to the community and integrating the socio-cultural values of Hinduism in diversified Canadian societies. In 2005, Bangladesh Canada Hindu Mandir (B CHM) was formed as an associate organization of BCHCS to accommodate the need of a Temple where local Hindus can practice their rich religious activities and festivals. BCHM got the status of registered charitable organization from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on 25 January 2005.

The organizations became owner of the property at 16 Dohme Avenue in Toronto on 28 March 2011 and the Temple moved to this permanent location on 31 July 2011.
