Every year, the Intercultural Dialogue Institute GTA hosts a series of community Iftar (fast breaking) dinners during the month of Ramadan. Iftar dinners bring together people of various faith and ethno-cultural backgrounds and serve as a means of building dialogue and cross-cultural awareness. They address various topics related to common teachings and values in different faith traditions and cultures. A centrepiece of the event is a panel discussion or a keynote address by those with relevant expertise with regards to a pressing/relevant matter of discourse.

Invited Guests: Civic and community leaders, York Region employees/administrators, public and Catholic board educators/administrators, faith leaders, professionals from different human services sectors (e.g. child welfare, children mental health, public health, etc.), as well as, foster parents and their families and community, members/families.
