Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau helps the Muslim Community in Ontario mark the Eid al-Fitr by reflecting on the need to educate "all Canadians on what it means to be a muslim in Canada."

"We're going to be supporting you to tell your own stories in your own words," said Trudeau Monday

"We're supporting the Muslims in Canada archive to help... preserve and provide access to records about Muslim people and organizations in Canada. And we're proposing to launch a new fund to break down barriers for journalists and creators from racialized and religious minority backgrounds so they can share their experiences and perspectives." Muslims around the world are observing Eid al-Fitr - typically marked with communal prayers, celebratory gatherings around festive meals and new clothes.
