Ramadan begins next week, and people in Chatham-Kent and all over the world who are Muslim renew their spiritual commitment. For about 30 days, Ramadan will be honoured in many ways, including fasting, acts of charity, reflections, and prayer.
This video, a partnership between the Municipality of Chatham-Kent and the Chatham Islamic Centre, covers ways that your business or organization can support colleagues or customers that are honouring Ramadan.
Note: Eid ul-Fitr, a significant holiday marking the end of Ramadan, is expected to happen on or about April 9th. Please be considerate of this important date for Muslim communities who may take time off or gather in honour of the holiday.
