23^rd Annual Khuddam National Ijtima` & 21^st Majlis Shura
August 6^th - 8^th, 2010

By the Grace of Allah Almighty, Majlis Khudamul Ahmadiyya Canada will be holding its 23^rd Annual National Ijtima`, Insha'Allah, at the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area.

This is the largest Ijtima` site to date where we have held our National Ijtima` and comments from Khuddam who attended the Ijtima` at this site were very positive. Over 1700 Khuddam enjoyed the Ijtima` at the Bruce's Mill Conservation Area from 55 different Majalis last year.

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the 23^rd Annual Ijtima` and hope and pray that everyone is able to draw maximum benefit from this blessed gathering where we not only take care of our physical needs by engaging in competitive sports competitions, but more importantly also engage our minds in deriving spiritual benefit from the Ijtima` as well.

Each year we try to introduce new things to keep everyone motivated. Some of you provided your feedback by filling out the surveys last year and I encourage you to continue to do so this year as well after the Ijtima` concludes and help us in continuing to enhance the overall Ijtima` experience for young and old Khuddam alike.

Some of the salient features of the program this year are:

• Special Sessions with Murrabiyan Silsila
• Q/A Session with Respected Amir sahib Jama‘at Ahmadiyya Canada
• Majlis based Food Stalls '
• `Ilaqa based Presentations
• Zil`a based Exhibitions
• Career & skilled based Presentations
• Bone Marrow Registry (put up by Canadian Blood Services)

If you did not get a chance to participate in either the local or the Zil`a qualifiers, not to worry. We have many events that are still open and you can participate in them even if you are coming to the Ijtima` for the first time.

• Impromptu Speech competition (English and Urdu)
• French Speech competition
• Khutbate Imam quiz
• General Knowledge quiz
• Memory Observation Test & IQ/Obstacle Race
• 3 point basketball competition
• 3 on 3 volleyball competition

Have a chat with your Qa'id Majlis if you need additional information or for a ride to Ijtima` Gah. Alternatively, we are only an email address away if you have a quick question. Go to our contact us page and drop us a line.

Most importantly, please continue to remember all the volunteers and Nazimeen who have been working hard in putting this Ijtima` together for all of us to enjoy and learn from. May Allah accept our humble efforts and may He make this program a great success (Ameen).
