Activities
Like the MAC Youth Centre, the MWC has been a tremendous success, alhamdulillah (praise be to God), in terms of community reception and serving community needs. With a substantial concentration of Muslims in the area, as well as recent Syrian refugee immigrants, the Centre was almost immediately full to threshold for many programs. Since MWC was opened right before Ramadan 2019, Sheikh Adnan Rajeh and his team provided great support with regards to leading the Taraweh (Ramadan evening prayers), and the Centre would be often full for Taraweh prayers, Friday prayers, Eid prayers, and other programs. With the start of the Family night program in September 2019, it became very clear that the community had outgrown the Centre and was making efforts accommodate the increasing needs of the community, including utilizing addition space upstairs above the lower level of MWC. Programs such as the Quran Hifz program and Arabic weekend school would fill to capacity and the Centre Committee would have to make new efforts to find new capacity by hiring additional instructors and arranging space. Below is a list of the various additional activities offered by the MAC Westmount Centre.
- 5 daily prayers
- Family Nights
- Youth Programming (Brothers and Sisters Youth Groups from MYC were transitioned to MWC)
- Quran Hifz (memorization) Program
- Arabic School Program (coming soon)
- Mom and Tot’s programs
- Taraweh (Ramadan evening prayers)
- Tahajjud (Late night prayers)
- Iftars and Suhoor (pre-fast, and breaking of the fast meals)
- And much much more…
