Special Message from Council for Ontario President Salim Bhanji about the inaugural Global Ismaili CIVIC Day to be held on Sunday, September 26 and how all members of the Ontario Jamat can get involved.

On the occasion of Imamat Day, Council for Ontario President Salim Bhanji and the institutional leaders wish the Jamat a heartfelt Imamat Day Mubarak!

The Council for Ontario wishes the worldwide Jamat Imamat Day Mubarak! Imamat Day marks a unique occasion for us to offer gratitude to Mawlana Hazar Imam for his benevolence, grace, and guidance for the worldwide Jamat. Let us recognize and rejoice in the blessing of this auspicious occasion as one Jamat in spirit.

Imamat Day Mubarak to all our brothers and sisters in Ontario and around the world!

The Council for Ontario is excited to advise the Jamat that we will be re-opening Downtown Jamatkhana using a cautious and measured approach. Downtown Jamatkhana will resume its normal schedule for evening Jamati ceremonies as of Friday, June 25, and morning ceremonies as of Saturday, June 26.

Jamatkhana capacity will initially be limited. Using careful monitoring and based on input from public health officials and health professionals, capacity will gradually be adjusted as circumstances evolve. 

At this time, we are encouraging Downtown Jamati members to change their Primary Jamatkhana in the registration system to Downtown Jamatkhana in order to facilitate their access to registration spots as they become available. 

Only Jamati members with allocated spots will be able to attend Jamatkhana. Walk-ins will not be permitted at this time. 

Please note that whether or not you have received a COVID vaccination, all those attending Jamatkhana will be required to: 

• Wear a mask at all times inside and outside Jamatkhana
• Keep a minimum 2-metre distance from others not in their household
• Sanitize their hands frequently
• Avoid gathering in groups or socializing 

Please consult the iiCanada Jamatkhana Re-opening page for the latest information on registration details, health and safety precautions, and more.

Please check for updates through the Al-Akhbar, the iiCanada App, and The Ismaili Ontario Facebook and Instagram pages. Please only use these official sources for communication and refrain from circulating messages from private sources.if you have any questions, please contact the Access Line.

We extend sincere appreciation to all our Access and Jamatkhana volunteers for their devoted services throughout this process, and thank the Jamat for their patience, understanding and respect for our incredible sevadaris, who make this all possible!

We look forward to seeing you soon.
