First Islamic Heritage Month Manitoba - IHMM
As we entered the month of October, the Islamic Social Services Association (ISSA) proudly celebrated Islamic History Month Canada and Islamic Heritage Month Manitoba. This was a time to honour and recognize the incredible contributions of Muslim communities across Canada and to celebrate their rich history, culture, and traditions.
​

Islamic Heritage Month in Manitoba was established through the advocacy of dedicated leader, Nellie Member of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly, marking a significant milestone in the province's commitment to multiculturalism and diversity. It is an opportunity for us all to learn, appreciate, and engage with the Muslim heritage that enriches our shared social fabric.

On behalf of ISSA, we extend our warmest greetings to everyone participating in this month-long celebration. Through various events, workshops, and cultural showcases, we look forward to building a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Muslim community's history and ongoing contributions in Manitoba and beyond.
