New mosque more than place of worship

In almost exactly a year, the Masjid Bilal mosque went from being an empty City of Winnipeg building to a welcoming place of worship and community. The Winnipeg Islamic Centre officially opened Masjid Bilal (33 Warnock St.) with a celebration on March 4, which saw hundreds of area residents in attendance. On a regular day, the 45,000 square foot space can accommodate over 400 guests for prayer.
