Important part of our Province and after a month of Acts of service and charity.
I think it just reinforces for British Columbians how fortunate we are to have a growing and thriving Muslim Community, and the community’s contributions to business, academics, and science. In charities to support there are such remarkable contributions of the Muslim Community worldwide.
It’s communities across British Columbia across North America as we see this Rising tide of intolerance and hate and racism and one of the things that I’m so grateful for the Muslim Community as we marked together is your willingness to stand up.
Still, some leaders participated in our Antie racism legislation. I wanted to thank you for your remarkable contribution.
We’re celebrating with a billion Muslims around the world is a remarkable occasion of Target. Kick-off that kind of number.
It’s a massive group around the world marking the end of the whole month of Ramadan thinking my colleagues for pulling together is amazing and I thank you for inviting me and thank you to the Muslim Community, British Columbia, and all the representatives so that you’re tonight for your work.
