There are so many places to explore and learn from Muslim history in Canada!
Read alongside one another, records at @ArchivesOntario, records a part of our collection and records at other institutions paint a picture of Muslim life in Canada as diverse and long standing.
It's #IslamicHistoryMonth! These photos from circa 1921-1950 in our @MHSOtoronto fonds depict the family of Kassim Burket in London, Ontario, where the province's first mosque was built.
Follow our friends at @MiCArchives_CA to learn more about Islamic history in Canada.

I promised to do a residential school denialism wrap-up thread, debriefing and revealing the denialism we saw in September with receipts, so here we go. I hope this is helpful to share etc. Sadly, there is too much to cover, so I’ve limited it to some representative samples 🧵

Just re-sharing this thread on how to identify and confront residential school denialism, ahead of Orange Shirt Day. Aside from the live Q & A I’ll be doing with @Pam_Palmater, I’ll be focused on attending community events - but I will address recent denialism here after Monday.
