Islamic Heritage Month

Canadian Prayer Rug

The Canadian Prayer Rug is a tapestry that celebrates the many communities and people who helped nurture and develop the Canadian landscape: from our Indigenous brothers and sisters who worked alongside the early Lebanese and Ukrainian pioneers to build Canada’s first mosque, the Al Rashid, to the thousands of Syrian newcomers who are establishing a home and future in this country. This locally designed and woven tapestry honours the history of our city and celebrates our spirit of collaboration in building thriving and welcoming communities.

The Carrot Islamic Heritage Month gallery exhibition will be on display from October 4 - October 29. Please join us for the opening reception on October 13 at 6:00 pm.
