ICC Funeral Financial Support Services
ICC is now offering a full funeral financial support program. This program will help members of our community cover the high cost of funerals.
Today, funeral costs between $6000-$7000, which can be very difficult for families to pay. The FFSS program allows the community to come together and help each other cover this cost.
Please visit our website for forms, and full details on how the program works. Application packages are also available at the office.
Parking Lot Safety
For everyone's safety, please carefully review the following guidelines for the parking lot area:
1. Do not block the masjid stairs, or the parking lot exit, when dropping off or picking up others from the masjid. Cars are not permitted to stop or park in front of the stairs.
2. If you need to drop off or pick up a child for evening Qur'an classes, kindly park in a designated parking spot and walk the child to and from the building.
3. Always look both ways and be vigilant while walking across the parking lot, especially while crossing the lane where cars exit.
4. Use extra caution when crossing the parking lot in bad weather conditions.
5. The speed limit in the parking lot is 15km. Please do not exceed this limit at any time.
