The Muslim population in Chatham Kent is on the rise since 2010. Every year, more young Muslim families are moving from bigger cities or overseas to Chatham Kent to enjoy a simple and less hectic lifestyle as well as to raise their families in a very peaceful community. The Muslim community in Chatham Kent is very ethnically diverse with families and individuals from several Middle Eastern countries, Pakistan, India, Africa, China, USA, Canada, UK, Bangladesh, SriLanka, Mauritius, etc. Muslim community in Chatham-Kent needed an Islamic Centre to connect as a community. The Centre will also aid in preserving our religious and cultural heritages. In early 2015, in one of the community gatherings, it was decided to convert this dream into a reality.
The first meeting of the Chatham Islamic Centre founding members was held on July 14, 2015 at 65 Sherwood Court, Chatham, Ontario N7M 6L2 to discuss a two point agenda: i.e. establishing an Islamic centre in Chatham-Kent with a pure public benefit objective to cater the needs of the Muslims of Chatham-Kent Municipality. The Chatham Islamic Centre is federally registered in Canada as a Charitable organization since 2019.
