“On behalf of our Caucus, I offer our warmest greetings to Muslims across the province and around the world who have been observing Ramadan for the past month. With the sighting of the crescent moon, Eid al-Fitr, the three-day festival of breaking the fast will begin.
“After a holy month of prayer, fasting and generosity, we extend our best wishes for a happy Eid festival. Regardless of where you celebrate, from Prince George to Vancouver Island to the rest of the world, we hope that it is filled with friends, family and celebration.
“We have so much appreciation for B.C.’s vibrant Muslim community and your contributions to the fabric of our province. My caucus and I deeply admire your kindness and faith.
