Masjids in Canada’s Capital City,
Now have to option to publicly broadcast Call to The Sunset Prayer, Adhan Al Maghrib, via loudspeakers, nightly for the duration of Ramadan 2020.
2/2 This will take place every evening from now until the end of Ramadan, on May 23. Thank you @JLeiper for your efforts on this. I hope this will help our Muslims friends in their observance of this sacred month of devotion and spiritual reflection. Ramadan Mubarak!

I want to thank our Mayor @JimWatsonOttawa for granting a Noise Bylaw exemption for Ottawa Mosques. Listening to the Athaan (Call to Prayer) in Ramadan in Ottawa has been a lifelong dream. Thank you!

In Ramadan 2013, All Maghrib Adhans in Ottawa were heard inside.
In Ramadan 2020, they can now be heard outside too.
