Do it - by any means necessary

Reflection piece on civic engagement by Toota Hassanien, TCMV Volunteer

In 1995, I came to this country from Sudan with my parents, 3 siblings and with hope for a more stable life. My parents, a father educated in nutrition and a stay at home mom, gave up a community and in some ways their own lives to establish themselves here in Canada.  

As-salāmu ʿalaykum, check out some of these exciting events coming up before summer ends!

As-Salāmu ʿAlaykum --

In our final edition of the Muslims in The House publication for the 42nd session of Parliament, the issues that we will discuss are relating to the Ban on Single Use Plastic and the Environment, Taxation, & the 50th Anniversary of the Islamic Foundation of Toronto.

Want to know what we've been up to in the past couple of weeks? On Friday the 21st, a  sold-out crowd of over 1,000 were joined by 75 elected officials, media representatives, and personalities such as Toronto Raptors Superfan, Nav Bhatia. 

This was TCMV’s best Eid Dinner yet, and has put Muslims on the political map this election season as the event has been recognized by politicians and media across Canada.  As a Get-Out-The-Vote campaign kick-off, it was the first public event featuring major party leaders since the last day of Parliament’s sitting.
