Reminder: Parking & Shuttle Options During Masjid Construction

Assalamu alaikum ISK Community,

As a reminder, our masjid extension project is well underway, and the back parking lot remains fenced off and inaccessible. This phase of construction should be completed by August, inshaAllah, and will result in increased parking space for the community.

In the meantime, the following parking and transportation options are still available, and we encourage community members to take advantage of them, especially since usage so far has been limited:

Carpooling
We encourage families and friends to arrive together in one vehicle when possible. Reducing the number of single-driver cars makes a big difference in easing parking congestion.

Free Shuttle Service from Cataraqui Arena
Shuttles are running every Friday from Cataraqui Arena (same location as Eid prayer):

  • First Jummah: 12:30 PM 1:40 PM

  • Second Jummah: 2:15 PM 2:45 PM
    A 15-person mini-bus and at least two taxis are available during these times. Please consider parking at the arena and using this service.

On-Site Parking
Please follow the new one-way traffic flow and parking directions from Paladin Security when arriving and leaving. This helps us maximize use of the limited space we have on site.

Alternative Jummah Prayers

If parking remains a challenge, please consider one of these other Jummah options in the city:

CFB Kingston Mercy Musallah
Multi-Faith Chapel, 33 Lundys Lane
Jummah: 1:30 PM

Crossroads United Church Community Hall
690 Sir John A. Macdonald Blvd
Jummah: 1:00 PM

Queens University (QUMSA)
JDUC Wallace Hall, 87 Union Street

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we work through this exciting growth phase together. Jazakum Allahu Khayran!
