The second annual Meet Your Muslim Neighbours open house will take place on Jan. 27 at the Islamic Centre of Fort McMurray.

The event was launched last year following what’s being remembered as the worst mass murder to take place in a house of worship in Canadian history.

On Jan. 29, 2017 six Muslim men were shot and killed after evening prayer in a Quebec City mosque.

Last year after the tragedy, hundreds from our community came together to show support to local Muslims, so they will continue the tradition of bringing the community together for the second year.

Enjoy delicious cultural food, get your name written in Arabic calligraphy and get a henna tattoo all in support of our Muslim neighbours.

The event runs from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 9904 Gordon Avenue.
