Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Communities
across
BC
last
week,
I
was
honored
to
attend
a
few
events
and
dinners
to
commemorate
the
holy
month
of
Ramadan.
I
would
like
to
appreciate
the
Turkish
educational
and
cultural
foundation
for
organizing
and
hosting
a
welcoming
event
to
celebrate
Ramadan
in
Richmond
on
top
of
the
already
incredible
work
they
do
in
the
local
community.
A
Special
thanks
to
ahmadiya
Muslim
jamat
BC
for
hosting
the
brick
of
us
multifay
after
dinner
at
the
legislature
as
well.
It
was
special
to
be
there
alongside
my
colleagues.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
center
Canada
newcomer
service
Society
for
inviting
me
to
join
the
wonderful
amadan
dinner
last
Thursday,
seeing
so
many
people
from
different
faiths
and
background
coming
together
to
celebrate
the
spirit
of
Ramadan
Ramadan
is
a
special
time
for
Muslims
across
the
world.
A
It
is
a
vital
time
for
reflection,
self-discipline
and
compassion
for
others,
as
families
and
friends
all
the
way
I
eat
this
past
weekend.
I
hope
everyone
had
the
opportunity
to
treasure
and
cherish
the
time
spent
in
each
other's
company
to
have
the
opportunity
to
attend
and
speak
as
some
of
these
dinners
was
not
something
I
took
for
granted.
A
Events
like
this
one
bring
us
all
together
in
the
ongoing
Fight,
Against
Racism
and
violence
against
marginalized
groups,
as
many
of
you
know,
I'm
incredibly
proud,
to
represent
a
writing
that
is
rich
in
diversity
and
inclusivity,
and
events
like
this
will
only
help
us
Garner,
more
respect
and
understanding
for
one
another.
On
behalf
of
the
United
busy
United
caucus
I
wish
all
Muslims
celebrating
I
eat
out.
After
our
women's
wishes
for
peace
and
happiness
and
a
joyful
Ramadan.
Thank
you.
