Black Muslims In Canada: A Symposium was held on Friday, April 5th in Toronto, Ontario.

This conference was organized by the Black Muslim Initiative (BMI) in partnership with the Islamic Institute of Toronto (IIT) and the Tessellate Institute. BMI is a grassroots project that aims to tackle issues at the intersection of Black and Muslim life. The conference has also been made possible with the support of the Olive Tree Foundation, the University of Toronto's Emmanuel College, and the Canadian Association of Muslim Women in Law.

This conference looked at the lived experiences of Black Muslims in Canada (through academic and non-academic research). By bringing together participants through this conference, a community of scholars is emerging that can enhance partnerships, collaboration, and networks to the benefit of Black Muslim communities in Canada.
