The Lethbridge Muslim Association took some time to share their culture and religion with hundreds of community members. Demi Knight reports.

A group with the Islamic Society of Regina is fundraising to create a new non-profit Muslim cemetery.

The gesture was organized by Sikh Youth of Victoria in the wake of the New Zealand mosque attacks that killed 50 people.

At vigils across the Lower Mainland this weekend, Muslims joined with people of all faiths to express their sorrow and resolve.

Dozens of people of different faiths gathered on a chilly afternoon to offer condolences and prayers for the 50 people killed and dozens injured in Friday's shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The mosque reached out to London Police Chief John Pare and requested police presence at the mosque, Medway Arena, and at the YMCA for Friday prayers, said executive director Aarij Anwer.

"Our loss and grief is humanity's loss and grief. The sanctity of human life has been violated."

Seven children from a Syrian family, ranging in age from four months to 15 years old, died in an early morning house fire in Spryfield.

Regina's Islamic association has big plans for the site that currently holds the Pump Roadhouse.

The celebration coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage, which is considered one of the largest annual gatherings in the world.
