This Friday, the world's most northern mosque opened in Inuvik, N.W.T. The Muslim citizens of Inuvik have been praying in a tiny one bedroom trailer for years and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new mosque. The pre-built mosque began the long trip on semi-trailer and faced a lot of hardship on the way to Inuvik. The mosque made it to the last barge heading to Inuvik and later was planted safely on Canadian soil. The Muslim community is hoping to use the mosque as a community center and hope for others to look at it as a symbol of tolerance and peace across Canada.
