TORONTO ― Today, Premier Doug Ford issued the following statement to mark the beginning of Ramadan:
“This evening, Muslim communities here in Ontario and around the world will come together to mark the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. Muslim communities will observe Ramadan through acts such as fasting, spending time in prayer and reflection, and undertaking acts of giving.
I want to wish Muslims across Ontario a blessed Ramadan.
Over the next month as you pray and fast, I wish all those observing a peaceful month ahead spent with your friends, family and loved ones. #RamadanMubarak! pic.twitter.com/4RSywWJy3V

Ontario is made richer as a result of our strong, diverse and vibrant Muslim community and its values of generosity, compassion and charity, which we see and feel across the province. This month and every month, we recognize the incredible contributions the Muslim community are making to build a better Ontario.
We will always stand with our Muslim neighbours against Islamophobia and work to ensure that Ontario remains a safe and inclusive place where members of all faiths can practice their beliefs freely and without fear.
From my family to yours, I wish all who observe Ramadan a month filled with peace and wonderful blessings.
Ramadan Mubarak!”
