BIN NORRDIN TEAMLEADER’S INTRODUCTION
Ever since Istarted traveling I promised myself to write a diary and put all
my impressions on paper to read about them in years to come, but I have
never done that. I have always regretted not keeping my promise. The
thoughtthat mypagesmightbe interestingto other people convinced me
to start building them. This one, it took some time for my friends and I to
finish them. We do hope you will enjoy them as much as my friends and I
enjoyedtravelling.Bywayof an introduction,IamAmirSyafiqbinNoordin,
a student in Kuliyyah of Economics and person in charge for the IIUM
students throughout our stay there.
Anyway, Iwouldlike tocongratulate the IslamicInstitute of Torontofortheireffortinorganising the
Student Exchange Programme between Islamic Institute of Toronto (IIT) and International Islamic
University Malaysia (IIUM. It commenced on Thursday, October 18 when 9 students studying at
variouskulliyyah (faculties) atIIUMarrivedat IIT. The Annual StudentExchange Programme seeks to
broaden the experiences of students by allowing them to explore how Muslims live, learn and
interact with others in various cultures.
An exchange, as the word suggests is a matter of give and take. It would only be successful if the
exchange is mutual and we all work together. The first step already took place in this direction by
pairing us up with foster parents. They have volunteered their time to help us out. All the great
civilisationsof the pasthave beenbuiltandthrived on the basis of exchanges – exchanges of art, of
information, of culture, of cuisines and goods. I’m not saying we need to build a new civilisation
here, but just to use this opportunity to its fullest to ensure that both side get the most out of it.
In Canada,we didengage in a series of intensive sessions and activities aimed at providing us with
an understanding of the Muslim presence within the wider Canadian Community. There are also
some places that really inspired us in a way. Please go through our pages and find out why.

-Tripto Ottawa – visitParliamentBuildings;visitMuseumsandotherattractions
-Visit South Nepean Muslim Community, Session with Imam Zijad Delic
It was a wonderful night. Went to bed from 12 till 5.00 am in the morning. It was the coldest
morningever. Around8.00am Mr Farhad withhiscolleagues, Mr Omar and Mr Asyraf arrived at the
station.Sistersgroupwere withMr Asyraf while we were with Mr Omar and Mr Farhad. We started
our journeytoOttawaat 8.10 am. We were goingto take advantage of being on the road during fall
foliage season to try to see some lovely sights.
After a long trip of around 5 hour’s journey, we arrived in Ottawa city around 1.30pm. In 1857,
Queen Victoria named Ottawa the capital of Canada. Naturally, the Canadian Parliament Buildings
are one of the city’smostpopular tourist attractions. Canada’s parliamentary system is referred to
as a ‘Westminster Model’. This model was first developed by the British and is named after the
Palace of Westminster,whichhousesthe BritishParliament. Many former colonies of Great Britain,
such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, adopted this British parliamentary model once they
became independent nations. In Canada’s Parliament, the national sovereign is the Canadian
Monarch, which the country shares with the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations.
Most of the monarch’s day-to-day parliamentary responsibilities, however, are performed by the
GovernorGeneral,the Monarch’srepresentative in Canada. The Parliament of Canada is composed
of 3 parts: the monarch, the Senate, and the House of Commons.
A collection of Canada’s federal administrative buildings, the Parliament Hill consists of three
edificesarrangedaroundthree sidesof the Hill’scentral lawn.The Centre Block contains the Senate
and House of Commons,andis frontedbythe Peace Tower on the south facade, with the Library of
Parliament at the building’s rear. The East and West Blocks each contain ministers’ and senators’
offices, as well as meeting rooms and other administrative spaces.
Our tour began inthe VisitorWelcome Centre (VWC), located on the ground floor under the Peace
Tower. The VWC offers a small exhibit describing the history, roles and functions of Canada’s
parliamentarians. Visitingthe Peace TowerandMemorial Chamberwere self-guided. But – as we’ve
seen throughout man’s history – great struggles often lead to great architecture, and Ottawa’s
Parliament Buildings are no exception. We strongly recommend taking an elevator up the Peace
Towerfor gorgeousviewsof OttawaandGatineau. Overlookingthe OttawaRiverfromthe limestone
ParliamentHill,Ottawa’s 18th century Gothic style architecture Parliament Buildings feature some
of Canada’s finest architecture.

9.  the Sisters at the Peace Tower
The Peace Towerrisesfromthe centerof the building,and honours Canadians who fought in World
War I. Then, we went to the Memorial chamber, where all Canadian warrior who died in the past
war. More than66000 thousandsname listedfor Canadianwarriorswhodiedinthe past First World
War in 1914-1918. The chamber has several books listing every Canadian soldier, navy personnel,
merchant seaman, etc lost in battle starting with the First world war. The pages of the books are
turnedeach day to displayanothersetof names.A very touching and solemn dispaly worth seeing.
A boutique located downstairs is a popular stop for tourists and parliamentarians alike. It offers a
selectionof mementoes and informative products unique to Parliament and of high quality, value
and function while providing a source of revenue.

10.  Us in front of the Parliament House of Canada
ParliamentHill isthe perfectplace forthisexuberantdisplayof patriotism, foritisfar more than just
a hill and three large sandstone buildings. This spot is where the Canadians’ history has been
written. ‘The Hill’ is indeed the heart and soul of Canada. The resplendent Gothic architecture is
almostoverwhelming — these buildingshave beendescribedasthe ‘finestpile of stonesinCanada.”
The Hill is also a fascinating venue for art. There are hundreds of stone carvings in the form of
gargoyles, animals, grimacing grotesques; and the sculpted likenesses of well-known Canadian
politicians. It is an impressive building that every tourists should visit when they happen to be in
Ottawa.The guide wasenthusiasticandinformative.Peacetower,chambersandlibraryare the core
of the visit, the view of Ottawa and Gatineau from top of peace tower is so nice. Ottawa is a very
walkable city so often the simplest way to get to major tourist attractions like the National Art
Gallery or Parliament Buildings is on foot.
Our nextstop,locatedonthe shoresof the OttawaRiverdirectlyacrossfromParliamentHill, itisthe
CanadianMuseumof Civilization-astunninglandmarkbuildingthatcelebratesthe achievementsand
historiesof Canadianandworldcultures. ItincludesanIMAX® theatre,CanadianChildren'sMuseum,
and Canadian Postal Museum.
Because of limitationof time, we decidedtovisitthe MuseumGallerytomorrow. For today, we just
went for the IMAX 3D theatre for one hour session. The ‘Flight of the Butterflies’ short movie
featuresnotat the entire rainbowof butterflyvarietiesbutata single species,the Monarch.The film
immersedusinthe astoundingmigration experience as two generations of the butterflies migrate
north and then a Super Generation finds its way from Canada to a few isolated mountaintops in
Mexico. It tells the story of Toronto scientist Fred Urquhart. Fascinated with the winged beauties
since hisyouth,Urquhart spentyearsworkingonwaysto tag them, thenspentdecadesdevelopinga
teamof ‘citizenscientists;acrossNorthAmerica,all inhopesof trackingwhere,exactly,hundreds of
millions of them were going every year.

11. It was nearly4.30pm whenwe finishedit andwe needtopray,but there was certainly no musolla at
the museum. Somethingthatwasveryunexpectedandinterestinghad happened to us. We wanted
to find a place to pray. We asked the counter staff for permission to pray around the museum and
was given. We were searching for an appropriate place to find to pray, one of the staff came and
said “we had opened a conference room for you to be used for your prayers”. We were really
SHOCKED. We could not believe that such thing can happen in Canada. How Muslims and non-
Muslims respect each other very much and the unity and respect among them is fantastic. Thank
You Canada for your generous hospitality. Thank You So Much! Subhanallah, they really respect us
as Muslims.
At night, we had the pleasure of meeting Imam Dr Zijad Delic from the South Nepean Muslim
community.
 It may look like an old schoolhouse from the outside, but for the past five years or so, the
SouthNepeanMuslimCommunity hascalledthe Jockvale Heritage Building at 3131 Jockvale
Road its home. It's a temporary home while the SNMC builds its brand new mosque and
community centre on Woodroffe Avenue.
As a scholar, Imam Dr Zijad Delic shared many aspects of his belief system and it is an honour to
meet him. He was born in Bosnia. He is a formally trained Imam and holds a Doctorate from Simon
Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His Doctoral thesis focused on tasks and
activities relevant to building bridges between the Canadian Muslim community and mainstream
Canadiansociety,inhopescreatingmore cohesive cooperationamongall Canadians. ImamDelichas
much of his career energy in researching how Muslims can integrate more successfully into the
Canadiancontext.His energy and versatility on behalf of Canada’s Muslims has earned Imam Delic
the compliment of being called “The People’s Imam” - a compliment well-earned through his

12. passionate energyasamotivational speakerandfund-raiserwhohasbeenknown to spontaneously
breakintosong to raise people’sspirits. He envisionsbuildinganew CanadianMuslimidentity – one
that trulyreflectsboththe formative principlesof Islamandthe richnessof ourmulticultural society.
He believes that Canadian Muslims and their fellow citizens possess the collective spirit and
potential to make enduring positive social, cultural and professional contributions to Canada’s
national fabric.
In 2008, Imam Delic was honored for a decade of continuous volunteer service by the Province of
Ontario and in both 2009 and 2010 he was included in the prestigious publication, ‘The 500 Most
Influential Muslimsinthe World,’editedbyJohnEspositoandIbrahimKalin,IslamicStudies scholars
at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. He currently works with South Nepean Muslim
Communityandservesas their resident Imam. He resides in Ottawa ON with beloved wife Senada
and daughters Lejla and Emina.
After the discussion with Imam Delic, we were served with delicious pizza made by Muslim
restaurant in Canada. After that, we went to Southway Inn for a rest.

first destination was to Malaysian High Commission in Ottawa. We need to be there at 10am.
Alhamdulillah we made it and safely arrive at Malaysian High Commission.
 In frontof MalaysianHighCommission,Canada
The High Commissionof Malaysia inOttawaisMalaysia'sprimary diplomatic mission in Canada. It is
located at 60 Boteler Street in Ottawa We were warmly welcomed by the staff there and the high

lemak, teh tarik and kuih-muih. We were craving the night before for a plate of nasi lemak.

14.  Malaysian dishes for breakfast
While having our breakfast, we manage to discuss some topic with the Commissioner. She told us
about Canada, where Canada is an immigrant country. A lot of people from all part of the world
come here and be Canadian.Canadais an opencountrywhere itacceptsall religionandallowsthem
to practice it there. Muslims, therefore, do not have problem if they want to practice Islam in
Canada. Dato’ also shared her story and background on how she can be a high commissioner. She
managesto be a highcommissionereventhoughshe was a bachelor student of agriculture. It was a
really wonderful story of her.
Apart from that, we also had the opportunity to meet brother Irwan, a Ph.D student in Carleton
University, Ottawa.The bestpartis that he was sent by International Islamic University of Malaysia
to CarletonUniversitybecause of hisexcellence academic performance during his study in IIUM. He
shared with us about the challenges that he faced during his study in Ottawa. When he first time
came to Carlton University, there were not many Malaysian students. The worst part was when he
wanted to find Halal foods. The toughest part is when he needs to score for his study and in the
meantime he needstotake care of his wife andhischildren.Itwas a very motivational story of him.
Aftera longsharingmomentwe asked toexcuse ourselves andwenttoRideauhall.
As a memberof the Commonwealth and a subject territory of the British Monarchy, Canada's Head
of State is still the reigning monarch of Great Britain. Given that the Queen cannot spend all of her
time inCanada isrepresentedby the Governor-General. The GG, as commonly known in Ottawa, is
largelyafigurehead, although he or she does have the power to prerogate Parliament on the PM's
request and can refuse to grant Royal Assent to Bills. The GG's spectacular residence, known as
RideauHall,islocatednot far fromthe Prime Minister'sHouse andthe Britishand French Embassies
on Sussex Drive.

 Rideau Hall is open year-round for tours of the residence, and the art collection.

native times to more recent. There are also very interesting sections where you feel like you're
walking thru an early village with the ‘sky’ceiling.
Finally,after2days spentin Ottawa,we headedbackto Toronto,to our respective family’shouse.

22. CELEBRATING EIDUL ADHA
It has never crossed our minds before that we will
experienced our Eidul Adha not only far from our families, but
also being far from this beloved country, Malaysia. Celebrating
Eidul Adha here is one of the miracles.
Upon arrivingat the IIT at about8.30 inthe morning,we
gathered inside the centre to prepare ourselves before
performing Eid prayer. We had been informed earlier that
usuallythe place will be floodedwithMuslimsall aroundCanada
because of the fact that Toronto is a place where majority of
Canadian Muslims live. They also informed us that there were
some instances that we will have the possibility of performing
prayerson the fielddue tothe large numberof Muslimscoming.
