On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at Brampton welcomed more than 300 people to Mubarak Mosque for a Muslims for Remembrance ceremony marking National Indigenous Veterans Day.
Attendees included Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, city councillors, Members of Parliament Amandeep Sodhi, Sonia Sidhu, Fares Al Soud and Amarjeet Gill, and Member of Provincial Parliament Amarjot Sandhu. Veterans from Royal Canadian Legion Branch 15 joined community and faith leaders in paying tribute to Indigenous veterans.
The Brampton Tri-Service Band and David Harmsworth, official bugler for the City of Brampton and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 15, provided musical tributes. The Jama‘at extends its thanks to Henry F. Verschuren, CD, Brampton’s parade commander and Branch 15’s government and community liaison, for his contributions to the ceremony.
Unfortunately, planes could not be flown due to poor weather conditions. Overall, however, the event was a great success, with many guests in attendance. May Allah enable the Jama’at to continue organizing such successful programs. Ameen!
