Muslim Heritage Day Festival In Edmonton

EDMONTON, CANADA - AUGUST 19, 2023: A poster 'I Love Jesus Because I'm Muslim' diplayed during Edmonton's second annual Muslim Heritage Day Festival held at Sir Winston Churchill Square on August 19, 2023, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The event aimed to bridge understanding of Islamic culture between Muslims and non-Muslims, combatting misconceptions through cultural exposure. With Alberta's Muslim population doubling to 202,500 by 2021, and Edmonton housing around 84,635 Muslims, organizers emphasized the growing need for awareness and accommodation of basic Islamic practices.
