Neighbours without Borders is a one-time public action taking place in response to the hate crime inflicted against a Muslim man, 66-year old Abu Sheikh, on July 13, as he was leaving prayer service at his mosque, and walking to his home. Men attacked him by attempting to run him over with a half-ton truck, vandalized his home with bricks, and left him physically and psychologically harmed. We are standing together to show that racism and hate crimes do not have a place in Canada and Saskatoon. This elder must see that the community is here for him. For that reason, we will be walking from the mosque he prays at, to his home for a brief ceremony, and then to the neighbouring Grosvenor Park to have a traditional tea service. Bring your smiles, your hope for a better world, your light and your love, and your readiness to have laughs and hugs with delicious tea, as we do so often in our community.
Event Timing: 2pm on August 11, 2018
Event Address: Meet at Mosque (Islamic Association of Saskatchewan(IAS)) to Sheikh's home (5 minutes), and walk back to Grosvenor Park around the block (total 15 mins)
