Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahu Wa Barakatuhu.
We would like to invite you to our Mosque on Saturday, October 12, from 3 pm to 4.30 pm for an Open House about the upcoming federal elections and the concerns / expectations of various local faith communities.
The event is hosted by the Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (MANAL) and co-organized together with the Anglican East NL and the Religious Social Action Coalition.
At the beginning of the program, the co-organizers will each make a brief introduction on one of the following three topics:
-Poverty reduction
-Challenges of seniors and refugee newcomers
-Systemic racial and religious discrimination, including Islamophobia
Then, electoral candidates from St. John's East and St. John's South - Mount Pearl will respond to these introductions by outlining how they perceive these topics and how they plan to address them if and when elected. The program will continue with a Q&A session during which the electoral candidates will answer questions from the wider audience.
At the end, there will be a reception which will provide all participants an extended forum for informal exchanges.

For any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at manal@manal.ca.
Looking forward to seeing you on October 12.
Jazakum Alahu Khairun,
MANAL Executive Committee
