Across the country, Canadians were invited to visit a mosque on Sunday, October 15.

The [*Visit My Mosque*](https://visitmymosque.ca/?ref=iqra.ca) initiative was launched this year the [Canadian-Muslim Vote](http://www.canadianmuslimvote.ca/?ref=iqra.ca) for Muslims to welcome their neighbors from all faiths and those without a faith.

*Visit My Mosque* Day is one of several other similar mosque open day initiatives globally.

“Visit My Mosque is about opening a channel for Muslims and non-Muslims to interact, thus building bridges to a stronger Canada and Canadian community,” said the organizers of the initiative. “Through *Visit My Mosque*, we hope that questions are answered and connections are created.”

“A recent Gallup poll has shown that the more likely one is to know a Muslim, the higher chance that person has of expressing more positive feelings towards Muslims as a whole,” added the organizers. “*Visit My Mosque* aims to battle Islamophobia by fostering an environment of open communication and engagement.”
