ABOUT US
The Lethbridge Muslim Association is a non-profit Islamic organization located in Lethbridge, Alberta.
About Us
The Lethbridge Muslim Association was first registered with Alberta registries in 1988 and has been serving the Muslim community of Lethbridge ever since. Muslims have resided in Lethbridge and surrounding towns for many years before the inception of the Lethbridge Islamic Centre.
Our first mosque, the Lethbridge Islamic Centre was established in 1992. It was located on 13 St S, Lethbridge and was used as our place of worship until 2018.
The Muslim population in Lethbridge, Alberta has continuously grown since the 1990’s and now consists of more than 1000 Muslims.
In 2018, the Lethbridge Muslim Association purchased the Bill Kergan Centre located on 13 St N, Lethbridge and converted it into a new mosque for the increasing Muslim population of Lethbridge.
