“As Ramadan begins, thousands of Albertans will join more than 1.8 billion Muslims around the world who observe this holy month in a time of reflection, devotion and generosity.
“Alberta is home to a vibrant Muslim community whose contributions enrich our province. As this holy month begins, I offer my warmest wishes to all who are observing. May Ramadan be a time of peace, renewal and togetherness for you and your loved ones.”
Premier Danielle Smith
“I am pleased to join Muslims in Alberta and around the world in recognition of Ramadan.
“Ramadan is marked by daily fasting, prayer and acts of charity that encourage compassion and service to others. Each evening, families, individuals and community organizations come together to break their fast (Iftar), strengthening connections and reaffirming the importance of kindness, charity and togetherness.
“Ramadan Mubarak!”
