The History of Canadian Muslims in Toronto Jane's Walk

Sunday May 4 2025

3:00 pm - 6:30 pmThe History of Canadian Muslims in Toronto

HïMY SYeD

Following an Islamophobia incident in North York in late 2015,

HïMY SYeD led The History of Muslims in Toronto – A Special December
Jane’s Walk a few days before Christmas.

It was well attended; much was learned, much was understood.

That very long walk was intended as a never-to-be-repeated event.

Yet Islamophobia persists… Quebec City Mosque Attack, and then Etobicoke, and then London.

This Jane’s Walk explains how 3rd, 4th, & 5th Generation Muslim Torontonians helped build our city.

This Jane’s Walk will visit four locations in the High Park neighbourhood and The Junction to reveal that history.

• Toronto’s FIRST Halal Butcher Shop – Roncesvalles Village
• Jami Mosque – Toronto’s Second Islamic Centre and its national significance
• The little known history of The Albanian Muslim Society of Toronto – The pivotal role of its founder, Reggie Assim, Toronto's First Imam
• The Dundas Street Mosque – The City’s First Masjid

ALSO on this year's Jane's Walk :

• The History of the First Synagogue in the old/former city of West Toronto

Walk Start:

Dundas-Roncesvalles Peace Garden ( 2201 Dundas Street
West at Roncesvalles Avenue opposite Boustead Avenue )

Walk End:

The Albanian Muslim Society of Toronto, 564 Annette Street ( Annette Street at Runnymede Avenue ).

Date: Sunday, May 4 2025

Start Time: 3 PM

Theme:

• Architecture and Urban Planning
• Arts and Culture
• History and Places
• People and Communities
