Empowering Our Mosques, Empowering Our Community
Why are we relocating:Â
The current location in Knutsford poses accessibility challenges, lacks municipal services such as water, sewage, and transit, and limits our ability to expand and offer diverse programs. Relocation within the city limits aims to address these issues and enhance community services.
Benefits of relocation:
The decision to relocate the mosque within the city limits is prompted by accessibility challenges at the current Knutsford location, posing difficulties for community members and TRU students, including healthcare professionals. The existing facility's limited capacity not only hinders the provision of on-site programs but also forces important events, including religious services, to be held off-site, even in the parking lot. This lack of capacity has contributed to the departure of healthcare professionals from Kamloops, exacerbating the city's existing challenges in attracting and retaining such professionals. The relocation aims to address these issues by offering convenient access for healthcare professionals and community members, fostering an environment conducive to attracting and retaining professionals and providing expanded capacity for a broader range of community services, including emergency relief efforts and collaborative initiatives with local non-profit organizations.
