Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Hamilton Tuesday

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be in Hamilton Tuesday.

Trudeau will attend Hamilton Mountain Mosque on Stone Church Rd. East at 9 a.m. to deliver remarks to recognize Eid Al-Adha.

The holiday, also known as the Festival of the Sacrifice, marks the end of the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.

Muslims traditionally attend prayers, exchange gifts and greetings, provide aid to the poor, perform a sacrifice, and share a special meal with family and friends to celebrate.

“This important day still offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons of sacrifice, compassion, and generosity, and to show appreciation for life’s blessings. It is also a time for all Canadians to recognize the many contributions that Muslim Canadians have made to our country for generations,” Trudeau said in a statement.

This year’s celebrations come at a time when the country has recently experienced acts of anti-Muslim hate and violence.

Trudeau said the recent tragedy in London, Ont., where four family members were struck and killed by a driver in a targeted attack, is a painful reminder that Muslims continue to face insults, threats, and violence.

“Hatred and discrimination have no place in our society. That is why the Government of Canada will host the National Summit on Islamophobia on July 22, to continue to take strong action against this hate and discrimination. Together, we must choose inclusion over intolerance, and reaffirm our commitment to a diverse Canada, where everyone – no matter their faith, ethnicity, culture, or gender – can feel welcome, safe, and respected,” said Trudeau.

The Prime Minister will also be making a housing announcement in Hamilton at 11:30 a.m.

Trudeau will be joined by Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Ahmed Hussen and Minister of Labour Filomena Tassi at Indwell’s Royal Oak Dairy on Robert St.
