World Interfaith Harmony Week – Celebrating & Moving Forward

Since 2013, Toronto has been celebrating World Interfaith Harmony Week, marked annually by the United Nations during the first week of February.  Its purpose is to “bring together all people of good will, regardless of faith or no faith, to learn about each other and find ways to work together on common agendas”.  The Toronto steering committee is pleased to announce that this year, out of 93 groups globally, its activities for the week received third prize from King Abdullah II of Jordan, founder of the World Interfaith Harmony Week initiative.

Please join us on Tuesday May 26 to celebrate this achievement, brainstorm plans for next year, connect with others engaged in interfaith work, and learn how to become more involved.  Refreshments will be served.*

Date: Tuesday May 26, 2015
Time: 7 pm
Location: Lower Social Room, Noor Cultural Centre
Admission: Free

* Refreshments will be vegetarian; If you are attending and require kosher-certified, please e-mail khadijah.kanji@gmail.com by Monday May 25.


    About Noor Cultural Centre

    We aim to be a centre for Islamic practice and learning, and celebration of Islamic culture, while respecting the diversity in peoples and religions as directed by the Qur’an [49.13]: We have created you out of male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes, in order that you might come to know one another. In the sight of God the noblest among you is the one who is most deeply conscious of God.

    NOTE: Noor Cultural Centre no longer maintains a physical location

    Its 123 Wynford Drive location was sold in October 2021 after 18 months of continuous lockdown for COVID-19. Since March 2020, all Noor programming has been virtual, and is planned to continue thus, insh'Allah.
