About 1,000 Ahmadiyya Muslims live in Saskatoon
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Saskatoon is gearing up for a big celebration Wednesday to mark its 50th anniversary in Canada.
The group was first formed in 1889 and follow the teachings of a Muslim reformer, who they believe is the promised Messiah. Imam Khalid Minhas is the spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslims in Saskatoon, whose membership is around 1,000 people.
"We believe in building bridges between communities," he said. "We believe in getting involved and helping each other, rather than being secluded."
The group has held several open houses at its mosque so non-Muslims can come and learn about Islam.
Celebrations for the 50th anniversary get underway Wednesday evening at Civic Square in front of city hall.
