CACMR Board Members Attend the 10th Annual Eid/Ramadan Dinner at the Parliament of Canada

On March 9th, 2026 members of the Board of the Canada Arab Congress on Middle East and North Africa Relations (CACMR) were honoured to attend the 10th Annual Eid/Ramadan Dinner hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada in collaboration with the Ahmadiyya Parliamentary Friendship Association.

The distinguished gathering took place at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building on Parliament Hill at the Parliament of Canada, bringing together leaders from Parliament, diplomacy, public service, journalism, faith communities, and civil society from across Canada.

CACMR representatives were also delighted to reconnect and engage with many of our valued friends and colleagues from diplomatic and government circles, including Hon. Robert Oliphant, Hon. Evan Solomon, MP Yvan Baker, MP Abdelhaq Sari, MP Salma Zahid, Hon. Ahmed Hussen, MP Fayçal El-Khoury, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, and Hon. Stephen Lecce, among many other distinguished guests from across Canada’s diplomatic, political and community leadership circles.

Held under the theme “A Night of Unity – Inspiring Peaceful Solutions for Our Nation,” the event provided an important opportunity for dialogue, reflection, and engagement during the holy month of Ramadan. The evening highlighted the shared values of compassion, understanding, and cooperation that are essential to strengthening Canada’s diverse and inclusive society.

CACMR representatives were pleased to participate in this meaningful annual gathering, which has become a significant tradition in Ottawa’s National Capital Region over the past decade. The event continues to serve as a valuable platform for fostering interfaith dialogue and strengthening relationships between community leaders and policymakers.

The Canada Arab Congress on Middle East and North Africa Relations remains committed to promoting constructive dialogue, partnership, and collaboration between Canada and the Middle East and North Africa region, while supporting initiatives that advance unity, mutual respect, and peaceful engagement within Canadian society.

CACMR extends its appreciation to the organizers for hosting this important evening and for their continued efforts in bringing together leaders from across sectors to inspire unity and shared purpose.
