Testimonials
Please know that Manitobans like myself value what you do and want to support the services you provide to the Muslim Community.
Let me add to the growing chorus of celebration for a conference that truly exemplified community engagement. On behalf of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, I would especially like to thank ISSA for bringing us together and allowing me the opportunity to learn from so many wiser colleagues.
"Thank you so much for coming to my class. Over nearly 20 years you have stimulated and enriched the thinking of over 500 of my students. At Menno Simons College alone, I imagine you have influenced the thinking of over 2000 students -- students who will soon be leaders in society. You have left a rich heritage, and we are better for it."
