“The Muslim Association of Canada acknowledges Treaty 6 territory—the ancestral and traditional territory of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, as well as the Métis.
We acknowledge the many First Nations,
Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations.
We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us.
We recognize the land as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.”
— Muslim Association of Canada, Ramadan 2021
“The Athaan is a call to bring people to be together;
in the moment,
physically and spiritually.
The Athaan adds to the rich tapestry of amiskwacîwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ),
meaning “beaver hills house,”
– the Cree name for Edmonton.
Note:
All aerial flights were conducted by Drone 360 Imagery under Transport Canada Aviation Regulations.
Flights over bystanders were conducted with a RPAS with the appropriate safety assurance,
over people.
All take off locations were approved by the mosque.
Disclaimer:
footage was captured at various stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However,
health guidelines and protocol set by the CMHO were followed throughout the recording.”
From here on after, Muslims can raise the athaan every Ramadan without requesting an exception.

Here is the message from MAC to their neighbours, explaining the Athaan, Ramadan, and how restrictions have been impacting Mosques (15% capacity, means many pray at home, but may come to the parking lot of the Mosque to listen from outside) #YEG pic.twitter.com/KW28ywgqYu
