As salaamu alaikum

Qurbani Meat Donations
 

ICC will be collecting Qurbani meat for needy families in Cambridge. If you are planning to donate Qurbani meat, please make small packages (approx. 2 lbs each), label them and put them in the freezer. You may bring the meat to the ICC office from Monday, June 9th to Friday, June 20th between the hours of 10:00am to 3:00pm.

WhatsApp Scam Warning

It has come to our attention that some community members have received suspicious WhatsApp messages from individuals falsely claiming to represent ICC. These scammers claim ICC is hosting a meeting or conference and ask you to share a code to join which they then use to hack your WhatsApp account.

Please be advised: ICC is not hosting any online meetings or requesting codes. Do not share any verification codes or answer calls from unknown WhatsApp numbers. Stay alert and protect your account.

Families Against Hate Workshop

The Coalition of Muslim Women of KW is hosting a Families Against Hate workshop at the Islamic Centre of Cambridge (ICC) on Wednesday, June 11th, from 5:30pm to 8:00pm.

This workshop will explore important topics such as understanding and addressing hate in its various forms. It aims to create a space for education, reflection, and community conversation around the impact of hate and how to respond effectively.

As part of the session, there will be a remembrance for the Afzaal family, who were tragically killed in a hate-motivated attack in London, Ontario, in 2021. A brief prayer will be held in their memory.

Registration is mandatory. To attend, please RSVP by emailing [email protected].
