By HïMY SYeD

Following an Islamophobia incident in North York in late 2015, HïMY SYeD led "The History of Muslims in Toronto – A Special December Jane’s Walk" a few days before Christmas.

It was well attended; much was learned, much was understood. That very long walk was intended as a never-to-be-repeated event. Yet Islamophobia persists... Quebec City Mosque Attack, and then Etobicoke, and then London.

This Jane's Walk explains how 3rd, 4th, & 5th Generation Muslim Torontonians helped build our city.​

As part of the Green Square Campaign, Green Squares (with safety pins) will available for all who wish to wear one during this Jane's Walk.

- Walk Start Location: Annette Street at Runnymede Avenue, Sidewalk on South West Corner of intersection. Walk leader will be holding Orange "Walk With Us" Jane's Walk sign; wearing a Green Square
- Nearest Public Transit: Runnymede Bus stop at Annette Street
- Walk End Location: Jami Mosque, 56 Boustead Avenue
