Celebrating Ramadan & Social Justice in Thunder Bay:
Guest Imam and Federal Chaplain will be the Keynote Speaker
The Muslim community in Thunder Bay is hosting its Breaking Bread event on Friday, June 10 at Lakehead University. This year’s event will feature a keynote speech by renowned interfaith activist and Federal Chaplain Imam Habeeb Alli.
Reflecting on this year’s theme, Imam Alli notes that “Ramadan is a special month for Canadian Muslims where we focus on our social justice towards the underprivileged in our society… How could one be hungry and thirsty for 18 hours everyday for a month and not empathize with the homeless and the refugees of the world?”
