The idea for Ramadan Lights began with seeing similar displays in cities abroad, places where Ramadan was visibly celebrated in public spaces.

​

Inspired by that sense of recognition, a group of youth in Toronto led by Laila Soliman came together with a simple question:
Why not here?

​

What started as a small, community-funded idea became the first public Ramadan sign installation in Canada. Since then, the vision has grown beyond one city.

​

Today, Ramadan Lights Canada is working to expand this initiative across the country, one city, one community, and one sign at a time.

 

“We wanted to create something that felt joyful, visible, and rooted in community, something that people could gather around.” - Laila
