The overarching theme this year for Islamic History Month/Islamic Heritage Month (IHMC) is: ‘Celebrating Muslim Women in the Arts and Sciences’.

Muslim Link created a list of events taking place in recognition of the month in Ontario and other parts of Canada.

We will update the list throughout the month.
