The Role of Muslim Communities in Canada: Contribution or Fortification?

Join us for an enriching evening with Shahina Siddiqui, Executive Director of the Islamic Social Services Association, as we explore the importance of building positive relationships both within the Muslim community of Sherwood Park and with our neighboring communities.

In this interactive session, Shahina will share her insights on fostering unity and understanding among diverse groups, highlighting the crucial role that connection and collaboration play in strengthening our communities. Participants will gain practical tools to build stronger, more positive relationships within their local Muslim community and with the broader community at large.
