Wednesday, February 3, 2021

UPDATE: As of February 3, 2021, please note Friday prayer is cancelled for the winter term. In accordance to health recommendations and regulations, along with the need of the campus community, Friday prayer space will be evaluated for the spring term.


Starting immediately, and following public health regulations and guidelines, a new space has been announced for Friday prayers in Federation Hall.

The space is accessible, and will host three prayer times each Friday until December 18. The space, along with relevant public health recommendations will be reviewed at that time.

Guidelines:

  • Everyone attending must have their own prayer mat, be wearing a mask, and remain 6 feet apart
  • These sessions are open only to Waterloo campus community members

  • Students, faculty and staff can access the space through the main entrance facing Ring Road, which has an automated door and ramp

Available Times:

Fridays 12:30pm; 1:30pm; and 2:30pm

Deep gratitude and thanks to Drs. Elmasry, Tarek, Eihab, Wasem, and Ayman, who will be leading these sessions. Please note, should public health recommendations change at any time, the prayer space may not be available for in-person prayer.
