Welcome to our website.

The Association of Progressive Muslims of Canada and Ontario is a non-profit organization, incorporated provincially in 1998 and federally on June 18, 2002, with its Head Office in Ottawa. Since its inception, the Association has focused on fostering understanding between Muslims and diverse communities, including faith groups, governments, security services, and NGOs.


We have told our story through photos and text in this website. We give awards at our Eid and Canada Day Celebrations. You can see a synopsis of our award recipients at a glance and get details on any one you are interested in.

We hope you enjoy your visit!
