The group is going coast-to-coast to inform people about the peaceful teachings of Islam and debunk misconceptions about the religion.
Organizers say Muslims need to help people understand Islam at a time when extremism is gaining ground.
The tour is expected to last about 40 days and visit more than 25 Canadian towns and cities.
