Wellington County’s first mosque has been established in the village of Erin, designed to serve the needs of Muslims throughout the district.

The mosque and cultural centre are located in the historic Disciples Church building at 103 Main Street, close to McMillan Park.

Erin Mayor Allan Alls and some local Christian pastors recently attended an open house at the mosque, welcoming the faith community to town.

While there are relatively few Muslims living in Erin, the facility is intended to provide a convenient location for those living in the region between existing mosques in Orangeville and Guelph.
