Understanding and partnership is essential today and for the future” – Taleeb Noormohamed, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Granville and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage
These remarkable Faith Leaders committed today, and every day, to stand together against Islamophobia and Antisemitism, and to work within their respective communities to foster understanding and to build bridges that unite us.
