Five years on, we express our gratitude for the tireless efforts of family members, community leaders, Imams, advocacy organizations, neighbours, and civic and political leaders - and all who are working to put out the fires of hate and ensuring that Our London Family is never forgotten. May Allah bless their souls, and grant ease and acceptance.

What happened on the streets of London, ON, five years ago should spur all leaders and community members to work together against the current rise in Islamophobia.

There is no more important time than now to turn remembrance into real action.

WATCH: CCI's Bill C-9 testimony at the Senate with other Canadian Muslim groups

For months, we have been working alongside other national Muslim groups to address the challenges posed by Bill C-9. Alhamdulillah, today we had the chance to address the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights, which is studying the bill as part of the parliamentary process. We focused on the Bill's potential impacts on religious freedoms, while other Muslim groups addressed the other challenges.
