Canada’s first ever all-halal food tour at Ajax

Last weekend, from 17th June 2022 – 19th June 2022, Night Market Toronto (NMTO) stopped at Ajax as they are touring the neighboring Greater Toronto Area (GTA) cities, with a new city every weekend.

As NMTO’s Halal Food Festival 2021 was a huge success, they went on to partner with organizations such as Knorr, Metalworks, Human Concern International, Tourism Mississauga, Islamic Relief, Halal Meals, Al-Ahad Foods, and recently the Town of Ajax and Metrolinx to take this festival to in and around the cities of GTA.

With over 12 different food stations, TOA residents, businesses and community groups were invited to come over and indulge in any vendor they wished. Every stall served all-halal meat options including Donia’s Donair, Daddy Browns, The North Corner and many more.

Ajax mayor Shaun Collier has stated that, “Ajax is excited to partner with Night Market Toronto and Metrolinx to be able to bring the first ever all-halal food tour to our community. Ajax is one of only eight stops and is the only stop in Durham Region. We are proud to be committed to the inclusion and celebration of our diverse community and I encourage all to come out enjoy the summer weather with great food and music!”
