The story of Muslim presence in Canada since 1938, told through a prayer rug stamp

In 1938, the first mosque in Canada was built in Edmonton. More than 80 years later, Canada Post has designed a stamp to commemorate the connections between Muslim and Indigenous communities that made this project possible. Since 2016, these references have been incorporated into the Canadian Prayer Rug, which is featured on this stamp issued in the lead-up to Eid al-Fitr.
