Alhamdulillah, this July 2017 will be the five year anniversary since MSOG moved to its

current water street location. In five short years, an amazing amount of work has been done!

Many goals have been accomplished in this short period of time. The most obvious of them

being an established daycare / Montessori school and the full-time Islamic private school,

Meezan School. We have also added fifty additional parking spots to help alleviate on-road

congestion. Over the past two years, our committee members have been hard at work with

the extremely difficult task of securing permits, approvals, and licensing from the City of

Guelph and Ontario Hydro in order to realize the final phase of the grand vision that MSOG

had five years ago. Thanks to the committee members, we are close to receiving all final ap-

provals to begin construction of 100 additional parking spaces to accommodate the large

multi-purpose hall and gym. While there is an obvious cost to construction, obtaining per-

mits and approval are also a huge expense, approximately $75,000 has been spent in creating

technical drawings, conducting surveys, and paying the City of Guelph and Ontario Hydro

fees to submit plans for approval. Our Volunteer Committee has been working diligently

to overcome each hurdle to get us closer to our goal. Your support and patience during

this time has been greatly appreciated. Please review the financial statement inside to fully

understand how your donations have assisted us so far.

Your continuous support and generosity will be required to achieve our vision for

the Guelph Muslim Community.

Thank you, Management MSOG
