MAC REOPENING CENTERS IN QUEBEC
On Monday, June 22, 2020
Mississauga– June 22, 2020: The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) emphasizes the holistic message of Islam within the context of Canada’s diverse society.
We are pleased to announce that MAC’s five Mosques in Quebec have OPENED, today, Monday June 22, 2020, in accordance with the provincial guidelines and directives. Daily prayers, Friday prayers and essential services will be offered while strictly adhering to the public health guidelines. Safety at our centers is our first priority, and as such, we are taking great care in instituting safety guidelines at our centers. We have been actively involved in training and educating staff, community members, and the congregation. This includes pre-registration, a staggered entry where necessary, screening sick or at-risk individuals, physically distancing congregational prayers, and keeping a consistent cleaning routine, especially within high contact areas. Each center website will have instructions specific to each facility for safe access to their services and for pre-registration.
We will provide regular updates regarding our response to provincial reopening through our website and social media platforms. MAC’s contact directory on our website: www.macnet.ca has all necessary information to reach out any of our centres and mosques. Now, all MAC mosques are open across all provinces (following provincial and municipal regulations). We are looking forward to providing the spiritual and social needs to Canadian Muslims as we move to future phases of reopening mosques and collectively overcoming the impacts of this pandemic.
