Mobile Consulate Update

Good evening everyone,

Please see the attached B.C. Consular Services Press Release.1. regarding consular services and the Mobile Consulate Visit to BC.

Up to date, we have collected 61 various consular services requests from the Moroccan community here in Vancouver. The Consulate officials in Montreal determined that many of the services requested could be done via mail, and there is no reason for an in-person service unless fingerprints need to be taken (eg. in the case of getting a National ID Card).

We invite you to:

  1. Read the above attached press release
  2. Visit the consulates website (consulatdumaroc.ca) to determine if an in-person service is required or if you are able to have your services performed via mail
  3. Reach out to other fellow Moroccans who might have a need of the consulate in-person services. A substantial number of requests is required for the consulate to approve a Mobile service here in BC.

The consulate officials, will be contacting individuals who signed up with us and who might be able to have their services preformed by mail.

You are invited to: Building Together an Islamic Culture for the 21st Century

Dear friends,

The founding principles of Islam are meant for all times and all geographies. But Islamic cultures, the way Islam is experienced in daily life by various communities, can vary greatly from century to century, and from place to place.

Unlike Islamic principles, Islamic cultures evolve with the rest of the planet, reflecting new universal world norms and constantly progressing as new levels of human knowledge are sought after and acquired, as Islam insistently commands throughout the Hadeeth and the Qur’aan.

I am organizing a unique double-bill retreat and presentation on the beautiful Vancouver waterfront about BUILDING TOGETHER AN ISLAMIC CULTURE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
You will receive the video program recorded live at the retreat, as well as the other live recordings of the year-long program, if you have Salaam Spaceport Club or Salaam Spaceport Kids. Join us now.If you can attend in person, fantastic: There are two shows running in the same building at the same time, one for adults, one for school kids K-12 and accompanying parents (SEE ADULTS POSTER and KIDS POSTER).As an adult you can either register for the Adults retreat or for the Kids retreat (if you want to accompany children to their shows). We have supervising adults in attendance, so if you wish you can attend the Adults show while your school children are attending the Kids show under adult supervision in the same building at the same time.
