Welcome day for Syrian families at The Guildford Islamic and Cultural Centre
1-18-2016
The Guildford Islamic and Cultural Centre (GICC) held a welcome day for the Syrian refugee families at the Guildford Musallah on Sunday January 10th, 2016. The goal of the event was to welcome the Syrian families and give them the opportunity to socialize and interact with the local Muslims in Guildford and the surrounding area.
Welcome baskets prepared by Iqra school and food packs by the Guildford community were presented to the families. The activities involved short talks from local scholars and MLAs, visitations to nearby available housing and providing each family with a cellular plan. The families also had the opportunity to share their concerns and gain assistance from the local Muslim community. Volunteers made an extraordinary effort in welcoming the guests and showed sincere love and support for the displaced families.
GICC is honoured to have the opportunity to host our brothers and sisters from Syria. May Allah (swt) ease their transition and enable them to prosper in their new life in Canada. Ameen.
