Eid al-Adha is a time to commemorate and reflect on the values of sacrifice, obedience and charity. It’s also a chance for the Muslim community to come together and spend time in prayer and reflection with family and loved ones.
Ontario is fortunate to have a diverse and vibrant Muslim community that contributes so much to our province. On behalf of all Ontarians, I wish everyone who is marking the occasion a happy Eid al-Adha.
Eid Mubarak!”
