Ramadan has arrived in Canada, bringing with it a sense of spiritual renewal and unity among Muslim communities. As Muslims across the country observe the holy month, they engage in prayer, reflection, and acts of kindness. The first day of Ramadan was marked by statements from Minister Khera and the Prime Minister, emphasizing the significance of this time for Muslims in Canada and worldwide.

The NDP extended warm wishes to those celebrating Ramadan, highlighting the values of generosity and kindness that define this period of fasting from sunrise to sunset. Canadian calendars are marked for March 11th, the official start of Ramadan 2024, a time when Muslims come together to observe the traditions and rituals of this sacred month.

In a unique gesture of solidarity, donations to food banks are pledged for every meal consumed during Ramadan, reflecting the spirit of giving and charity integral to the observance of this month. The Council of Imams of Ottawa-Gatineau released a statement announcing the commencement of Ramadan, calling for blessings and unity among believers.

Despite the challenges faced this year, with mourning and concerns casting a shadow over the celebrations, Muslim Canadians are determined to find solace and connection through their faith during Ramadan. While the usual festivities may be subdued, the essence of community and spirituality remains strong.
