Urgent community appeal

Complete the path into our masjid and school.

Help create a safer, more reliable arrival for children, families, elders and worshippers at 171 Knox Avenue.

Required to complete $300,000

Why now

A practical project with everyday impact.

The first and last moments of every visit happen outside. Site construction supports safety, dignity and reliable access before learning or worship even begins.

Paving & circulation

A durable surface, clear vehicle flow and visible parking organization.

Drainage & grading

Site preparation that helps manage water and protect the completed surface.

Accessible arrival

Safer transitions for children, elders, families and people with mobility needs.

Visibility & lighting

Clearer movement during early mornings, evenings and winter months.

Pedestrian safety

Better-defined paths between vehicles, the masjid entrance and school activity.

Permits & resilience

Professional scope, required approvals and responsible contingency for site conditions.

How the campaign proceeds

A clear $300,000 completion goal.

The campaign connects the published requirement to practical site work: preparation, drainage, paving, circulation, lighting, accessibility and the approvals needed to complete the project responsibly.
