The month of October was declared as Canadian Islamic History Month back in 2007, in recognition of the significant contributions the Muslim community has made to Canadian society.
-
Did you know? According to official records, Muslims have been calling Canada home for 170 years now!
-
Canadian Muslims are very diverse in terms of intersectionality. From race to languages spoken, the variations are endless! We have Canadian Muslims contributing to a variety of fields including (but not limited to) the Arts, Medicine, Politics and the Not for Profit sector.

Posted @withregram • @theindigenousfoundation Orange Shirt Day (which is also known as the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation)- on September 30th is a day to honour the Indigenous children who were forcibly taken away from their families through the Residential “School” system. It is a day to raise awareness about the struggles that Indigenous communities have faced and the violence and inter generational impacts Indigenous communities face to this day.

Swipe to learn more about the meaning of Orange Shirt day and how Phyllis Webstad, an Indigenous woman started Orange Shirt Day.

This is a day not only to recognize the Indigenous children taken from their communities and families, but also day to honour those who survived, as well as the families and communities affected.

On this day, it is important to not only show your support by wearing an orange t-shirt or article of clothing but also continuing to practice allyship and educate others around you.

Organizations to donate to and support:

Here’s today’s segment of “Youth Voices for the Youth Vote 🗳” led by our youth council!
-
From the 2015 national youth survey, it was found that there are two major barriers that prevented youth from voting: motivation and access. Research suggests that a key factor in overcoming these barriers is increasing the interest level and political knowledge of future voters.
-
Swipe ➡️ to hear from Youssef and why he’s voting. He is the co-President of our youth council.
-
Your voice matters. And your vote matters.

With the upcoming federal elections only days away

With the upcoming federal elections only days away, it is imperative that the Muslim communities in Canada and in Milton are well-informed of the issues, platforms and outlook behind each candidate and their political party.
-
To this end, the Muslim Advisory Council of Canada is hosting a virtual conversation with local candidates from the Milton, Ontario riding, on Thursday September 16th, at 8:30 p.m. You are invited to this session and can register using the link in our bio!‼️
-
While the national political leaders and their individual campaigns are undoubtedly important, the local candidates vying to be the next representative in Ottawa for your community should not be overlooked. This is your chance to ask them the tough questions directly, hear what they have to say, and help ensure you are as informed as possible as you head to the polls on September 20th – or earlier.
-
This free-flowing and interactive conversation has confirmed attendance from the following candidates:
Adam van Koeverden – Liberal
Muhammad Riaz Sahi – NDP
Chris Kowalchuk – Greens

The conservatives, greens, liberals and ndp were all invited ✌🏻
-
Attendees can submit question to: info@muslimadvisory.ca

Insh’Allah, we hope to see you there‼️🇨🇦🗳

Rejaa is voting because: of the “concerning rise in hate crimes and Islamaphobia as of late, policies to combat COVID-19 and support post-isolation mental health.

The status quo is that politics and being involved in politics is a man’s game. Only recently have more women started to be involved in the government and policy change. This section of our course will help to personify politics and relate it to the Muslim women and minority women who may be reading. ⁠⁠
