Elected Officials Addressed The Canadian Muslim Vote’s Annual Eid Dinner

This was TCMV’s best Eid Dinner yet and has put Muslims on the political map this election season. It was a major event which included party leaders and is being called the TCMV Get-Out-The-Vote Campaign Kickoff!

The event saw remarks shared by Toronto Mayor John Tory, Hon. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Hon. Deputy Leader of the Opposition Lisa Raitt (CPC), and Hon. Leader of the NDP Jagmeet Singh.

The Eid Dinner was covered live by CTV with stories on Global, City TV, CP 24, CBC, Toronto Star and was one of the top trending topics on social media. In case you missed it, you can watch a recording of the event below (It may take a few moments to load from YouTube).

This success would not have been possible without all the hard work and contributions from volunteers, sponsors, the TCMV board, and the Muslim community and our friends.

What's next? We need to take this achievement to the next level to deliver on our potential to turn out in the federal election in October. This will not be possible without your generous support to our Get-Out-The-Vote program through your tax-deductible donation. Please Donate Generously HERE.

We want to extend a very special thank you to all of the elected officials who attended.
