Brampton Mubarak Mosque holding Canada Day celebrations

Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will ring in Canada’s 155th birthday by welcoming all of Brampton to Canada Day celebrations this Friday.

The celebrations get underway at 10:00 a.m. on July 1 at the Mubarak Mosque at 10545 Hurontario St. in Brampton, and will be a family-friendly event featuring special presentations, children’s activities and a flag raising ceremony.

The events are open to the public and will attended by local government officials including Mayor Patrick Brown, neighbours and members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat.

The event will wrap up at 11:30 a.m., just in time for attendees to head to Chinguacousy Park for the city’s full Canada Day line up.

Featuring food, fireworks and a star-studded line up of live music, performers include headliner Kardinal Offishall, B.C.-based Indigenous rappers Snotty Nose Rez Kids, and Roberta Battaglia – the Toronto teen who made waves with a Golden Buzzer win on America’s Got Talent in 2020.
