OCTOBER 2023

The month of October, Islamic Heritage Month, is a celebration of the rich and diverse contributions of the Muslim community to Canada’s cultural mosaic.

About ISNA Canada

Since its inception in 1983, ISNA has played a pivotal role in leading and empowering more than 1 million Canadian Muslims from coast to coast. ISNA Canada has been instrumental in organizing educational programs, interfaith dialogues, and charitable initiatives that have not only strengthened the bonds within the Muslim community but have also promoted understanding and cooperation with the wider Canadian society.

Our team is celebrating this month across Ontario!
