Eid Venue
We are pleased to announce that this coming Eid Al-Adha prayer will be held at Springbank Park (1085 Commissioners road West. with takbeerat commencing at 8:30 am and the prayer being held at 9:00 in addition to the regular prayer being held at the Islamic Centre (also 8:30 takbeerat start and 9:00 prayer). With the growing number of Muslims within our city, the venue for the prayer needed to be revised to ensure the safety and comfort of our congregation. We also wanted to ensure that we were choosing a location that accommodated large numbers of vehicles for parking and would provide enough space for all to pray. This is in line with the Sunnah of the Prophet PBUH who used to perform the Eid prayer outdoors.
• Please bring prayer mats as we will be praying directly on the field inshallah
• Please do not leave any waste at the park and ensure that you are following park rules and the direction of volunteers
• If you are staying at the park after the prayer, consider bringing water, snacks, sunscreen and lawn chairs

Parking/Transportation
In light of such changes, we ask our congregation to please be mindful of the timing for prayer and to allow themselves enough time to get to the park for the prompt start of the takbeerat and prayer. To help alleviate some of the traffic flow, we encourage you all to consider taking public transportation or car-pooling to help make the flow of traffic smoother.
For those who are driving, parking is available at multiple locations throughout the park and are outlined in the map. Please be very careful of your surroundings as you are driving in/out of the park as there will be many pedestrians and young children around you.

Eid Festival
Due to the sudden change in venue, the Eid Festival will be postponed this Eid with further communication about timing and location to follow in the coming weeks. However, families are encouraged to take advantage of the Springbank venue and consider using the public playgrounds with their children following the Eid prayer. Please note that Storybook gardens is closed for the season.

Eid Vendors
Please be advised that the city does not allow the sale of items at the park. Retailers, sponsors and vendors who are interested in selling or distributing information at the Eid prayer/festival should contact ahage17@gmail.com beforehand.
