We know you have questions, and we want to answer them! MAH projects, along with other updates, have exciting updates to share with you, but some also need your help to get to the next step.
As an organization tasked with serving the community, the MAH needs to have a minimum number of members attend the Annual General Meeting in order to approve the motions required to move some of its projects forward, such as the parking lot.
By attending the AGM you can:
* Ask questions and have a say in the priorities and operations of the MAH
* Help us get one step closer to finally purchasing the new parking lot for Mountain Masjid
* Learn about the other exciting projects of the MAH such as the new Ancaster Masjid and a new affordable Muslim cemetery
* Meet the volunteers giving their time to carry the MAH forward
The meeting package of the AGM can be found here: here

We look forward to seeing you at the AGM!
