On 26 April 2025, Lajna Imaillah Canada held its semi-annual presidents’ refresher course at the Baitul Islam Mosque. The event started with a recitation from the Holy Quran, followed by introductions of the regional and local presidents. Over 100 presidents within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) attended the session in person and 50 presidents outside of the GTA attended virtually. Beginning with video clips of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V’saa guidance to office bearers on service to the Jamaat, presidents were reminded of the importance of completing their duties with taqwa.Highlights of the refresher course included instructions of Khulafa on commonly faced issues, departmental recognition of majalis, tips to support and empower local amila, including an opportunity for local presidents to share their successful experiences. The members were fortunate to listen to the live address of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih Vaa at the UK Waqifaat-e-Nau Ijtema 2025. Lunch was served following the end of the session, followed by Zuhr prayer.
