As part of MoveUP’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and culturally aware community, we recognize and celebrate Ramadan, a deeply sacred time for our Muslim members and their communities. It is a period of devotion, reflection, and connection.

For those who observe, Ramadan carries deep personal and cultural significance, marked by fasting, prayer, and acts of charity. We extend our warmest wishes to all partaking in this meaningful tradition. At the same time, we invite all members to learn more about the values of Ramadan and its importance to many in our union.

This year, Ramadan begins on February 28 and continues until sundown on March 29. It is a time of spiritual growth, self-discipline, and deepening one’s connection with faith and community. Fasting from dawn to sunset is a core practice during Ramadan, symbolizing self-restraint, gratitude, and solidarity with those in need. It is also a period of generosity, where acts of charity and kindness are encouraged. Families and communities gather in the evenings for Iftar, the meal that breaks the fast, often shared with loved ones and friends. The end of Ramadan is marked by Eid al-Fitr, a joyous celebration of gratitude, unity, and renewal.

MoveUP recognizes the significance of Ramadan and extends our warmest wishes to all members who observe this sacred month. Just as we celebrate other holidays and traditions, we honour Ramadan as a vital cultural and religious tradition for many in our union.

We encourage all members to take this opportunity to learn more about Ramadan, support colleagues who are observing, and foster an inclusive workplace where everyone’s traditions and beliefs are acknowledged and respected.

Wishing all those observing a peaceful and fulfilling Ramadan.

Ramadan Mubarak!

In solidarity,
MoveUP Human Rights and Multicultural Committee
