Qurbani Update
Please note that the masjid will not be coordinating Qurbani this year, as there is currently no one available to dedicate the time and coordination this effort requires.
If anyone is interested in taking on this responsibility, please reach out as soon as possible by emailing [email protected]. Otherwise, we encourage the community to arrange their Qurbani through trusted organizations.
One option is Islamic Relief Canada, which offers Qurbani services both locally and internationally. You can find more information or place your order here:
