About this organization
Established in 1969, the Islamic Foundation of Toronto (IFT) is one of the oldest Muslim organizations in Canada. It began as a 3000 sq. ft. building at Rhodes Avenue initially which was later transformed into the towering institution that it is today.
It was in 1984 that the 2.3 acres of lands where the Islamic Center currently resides was purchased. This marked the beginning of a new era for IFT. It moved beyond a neighbourhood mosque and grew into a multidimensional center that would serve as the hub to unite the residents of the Greater Toronto area. It would come to house an extensive repertoire of religious and educational programs as well as highly needed social services. To nurture our future generations, we recognized that adequately preparing our children is vital to tackle the challenges that come with living in this society. It was to this end that an elementary school was initiated, emphasizing excellence in education in an environment that fostered Islamic values.
