Canadian Roots Exchange building bridges in Saskatoon

The group learned that the Ahmadiyya Muslim community differs from other Muslim sects in that Ahmadiyyas believe the Reformer of the Age is not someone looked forward to at some time in the future, but has already arrived and will bring unity to the differing elements of Islam.

Jessica Alegria is the program officer for the Canadian Roots Exchange, an organization that aims to build bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth by facilitating dialogue and strengthening relationships.

“Our work is centred on experiential learning,” she says. “In addition to equipping teams of youth across the country to develop their own local programming, we organize cultural exchanges, conferences and experiential workshops.”

One such event was held recently at Saskatoon’s new Ahmadiyya Baitur Rahmat Mosque which is located on Grasswood Road East.
