Why Green Dome School / Masjid Project?
• The Need – In 1995 Calgary had one Islamic school for 35,000 Muslims. – In 2011 Calgary still have one Islamic school for more than 80,000
Muslims. – The current Islamic school has a waiting time for more than 3 years.
• Muslim population growth in Calgary – It is estimated that by 2015 the Muslim population in Calgary will
pass 100,000. – More than 5,000 Muslim children are expected to start the
elementary school within the next four years. – The public education system is already overloaded and does not
provide Islamic education or Arabic and other languages to students.
