Historically over the last 23 years the event has maintained a commitment to provide free admission to encourage everyone to attend; a commitment our community has always valued. In addition MAC strives to provide an event that is affordable for low income families and new immigrants within Toronto. As a result, the event has always provided free entrance and subsidized carnival passes. As MAC is a non-for-profit organization, business sponsorship is integral to the sustainability and continuity of the Eid Festivals.

The event has been sponsored in the past by several respected organizations including but not limited to the Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship’s Ontario Community Builders program, Ittihad Securities, Salam Financial, Direct Capital Mortgage Corporation, and IRFAN Canada (International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy).

The prophet Mohamed (pbuh) was asked 'What is Udhiya/Qurbani?', He answered 'It is the Sunna of your father Ibrahim (as), for every hair of the Qurbani you will receive a reward from Allah and for every hair in the wool you will receive a reward'. (hadith - Ibn Maja and Tirmidhi).

The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) is embarking on new initiative to share Qurbani/Udhiya services for Eid Al-Adha with the families of fixed and low income in our local communities.  We have organized with a local butcher to slaughter the animals after Eid prayer and then package them for distribution.  We reached a special arrangement so that any donor can retain one third of the meat from his/her Qurbani/Udhiya which will be available pick up the day after Eid.

MAC is working with Scadding Court Community Centre and the MSA of U of T, St. George to distribute the meat to families in fixed income housing areas such as Regent Park and Alexandra Park.  Through our community outreach so far, 170 families have signed up to receive packages of meat ( the number is growing with every passing day).  To share in the joy of Eid, we are also organizing a free community lunch on Nov. 29 where families receiving the meat can come, share a meal with us, learn about Eid, Islam and Muslims and pick up their packages.
 
The following options are available:

1. Lamb full donation (35 - 40 lb): $280
2. Lamb 2/3 donation (35 - 40 lb): $280
3. One seventh of Cow full donation (70 - 80lb): $280
4. One seventh of Cow 2/3 donation (70 - 80lb): $280

The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) is a religious, educational, social, charitable and non-profit organization. MAC provides programs that encourage community engagement and promote diversity. MAC’s programs and services are provided across Canada in every major city. Within the GTA and surrounding cities MAC services communities within but not limited to London, Waterloo, Hamilton, Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto, and Pickering.

MAC is a grass root organization – it is built on the involvement of families and individuals as we believe volunteers enhance the association in its ability to deliver quality services.

The Eid Festivals have always provided free entrance and subsidized carnival passes to ensure that the event is available to all Muslims and provide additional assistance for low-income families.

General donations funds will be directly used to pay facility rental fees and carnival ride expenses.
