The Canadian Institute of Islamic Civilization (CIIC) is one of the biggest projects of the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, it is a key milestone towards establishing a special relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims based on mutual respect, through highlighting common values, and identifying avenues of cooperation. Thanks to its location and facilities, the CIIC is a perfect fit to host events engaging scholars, intellectuals and artists in order to address issues pertaining to Islam and Muslims in Quebec and Canada.
