Your 2021 TAIC ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEES
Dear TAIC member,
It is time to invite you to consider payment of your TAIC annual membership fees for 2020.
Thanks to your contribution this year, we were able to achieve our Mission to contribute to pluralism by ‘affirming the importance of ethics, spirituality and faith in the daily life of the people of Toronto and to promote understanding, harmony, respect and acceptance among the faith communities in the Toronto area’.
Collectively, we participated in and facilitated significant events related to interfaith dialogue and we spoke out against acts of murder, terrorism, and hate against people of faith in the USA, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. We were also able to mobilize the people of Toronto, Ontario and Canada to participate in international, national and local events as shown in the TAIC Annual Report of July 2019.
Your participation in 2021 will help us achieve our objectives which include working with other organizations to bring together leaders from faith communities, government, NGO’s, industry and the poor in the Toronto area to participate in a summit to improve the quality of life of the poor by ‘breaking the cycle of poverty with dignity’. We are also working on programs to mobilize the faith communities to prepare for extreme weather.
Kindly return the completed registration form (enclosed) and your cheque, made out to Toronto Area Interfaith Council, to the above address and the attention of the Treasurer.
On behalf of the TAIC Board of Directors, I wish to express my personal thanks for your continued interest and cooperation.
Improve quality of life
Sincerely,
Zul Kassamali
President
Toronto Area Interfaith Council (TAIC)
