North Vancouver Islamic Association
The North Vancouver Islamic Association (NVIA), operating under the business registration number 825753452RR0001, is a nonprofit organization serving Muslim communities in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Established to provide religious, educational, and social services, the association oversees Masjid Ar-Rahman, a mosque located in North Vancouver that facilitates daily prayers, congregational events, and Islamic education programs[^1^].
History and Activities
The association addresses the needs of a growing Muslim population in the region, which includes families from diverse cultural backgrounds such as Iraq, Iran, South Asia, North Africa, and Southeast Asia[^3^]. While specific founding details are not publicly documented, the organization has played a pivotal role in consolidating community efforts to establish permanent worship and learning facilities.
Affiliations and Outreach
The NVIA collaborates with broader initiatives under the BC Muslim Association (BCMA), which supports youth programs, sports leagues, and family-oriented activities across British Columbia[^5^]. Its activities emphasize fostering Islamic values, multicultural unity, and educational development, including Quranic instruction and leadership training for youth[^5^].
Facility and Services
Masjid Ar-Rahman, managed by the NVIA, serves as the primary hub for congregational prayers, including daily salah and Friday (Jumu'ah) gatherings. The association historically relied on temporary prayer spaces before securing its current location[^3^]. Efforts to expand facilities for larger congregations and educational purposes remain ongoing[^3^].
