*Note an update regarding Downtown Jamatkhana re-opening will be shared shortly.

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.

If you have already registered to attend Jamatkhana through the Jamatkhana registration site, you do not need to take any further action - the registration system will inform you once a spot becomes 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 3-layer mask at all times inside and outside Jamatkhana

  • Keep a minimum 2-metre distance from others not in your household

  • Sanitize hands frequently

  • Avoid gathering in groups or socializing

Please consult the Canada 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.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
