Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Calgary to Celebrate Canada Day with Free Community Event at Prairie Winds Park

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Calgary will welcome the public to a free Canada Day celebration on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at Prairie Winds Park, Calgary, bringing together families, friends, and community members to celebrate Canada’s rich diversity, multicultural values, and spirit of unity. The event will run from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and is open to everyone regardless of faith, ethnicity, or background.

Held under the inspiring motto “Love for All, Hatred for None,” the celebration reflects the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s commitment to promoting peace, harmony, compassion, and service to humanity. The gathering aims to provide an opportunity for Calgarians to celebrate Canada’s national holiday while strengthening relationships among people from different cultures and communities.

Visitors attending the event will be treated to a free barbecue, with both traditional BBQ items and vegetarian burgers available to ensure everyone can enjoy the meal. Organizers hope that sharing food together will encourage friendship and meaningful conversations among attendees.

A variety of activities have been planned throughout the event to entertain and educate visitors of all ages. Families can enjoy informative displays, interactive exhibits, fun activities, quizzes, and games for children, creating a welcoming atmosphere for the entire community.

One of the highlights of the celebration will be guided tours of Baitun Nur, recognized as Canada’s largest mosque. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the mosque, learn about Islamic beliefs and traditions, and discover the contributions of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community toward interfaith dialogue, community service, and promoting mutual understanding across Canada.

The event is designed as a free family celebration, encouraging people from every walk of life to participate in an atmosphere of friendship, respect, and cultural appreciation. Through educational activities and community engagement, organizers hope to foster stronger connections between Calgary’s diverse communities while celebrating the values that define Canada.

Several respected community organizations are supporting the celebration, including the Calgary Fire Department, Calgary Police Service, Guru Nanak Free Kitchen YYC, Humanity First, and The City of Calgary. Their participation highlights the collaborative effort behind the event and demonstrates the importance of partnerships in building a welcoming and inclusive community.

Canada Day, observed annually on July 1, marks the anniversary of Canadian Confederation in 1867 and is celebrated across the country with festivals, cultural events, concerts, family activities, and community gatherings. In Calgary, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at has become well known for hosting inclusive Canada Day celebrations that welcome thousands of visitors while promoting understanding, volunteerism, and community service.

This year’s celebration is expected to continue that tradition by offering free food, engaging family activities, educational exhibits, and guided mosque tours in a welcoming environment where people from every background can come together to celebrate Canada’s national day.
