A mobile exhibition that aims to stop Islamophobia has arrived in Saskatchewan.

A trailer full of volunteers has been stopping in communities across Canada in an attempt to spread a positive message about Islam and clear up misconceptions about the faith.

Zeeshan Ahmed, the leader for the Regina chapter of the organization, told CBC’s The Afternoon Edition anyone with questions is encouraged to visit the trailer.

He added, “We want to clear this misconception that Islam is no longer going to be hijacked by extremists,” Ahmed said. “True Muslims that are peaceful by heart will actually spread the message of peace to our fellow Canadians and our fellow neighbours.”

The trailer will be in Regina’s Victoria Park from 9 a.m. CST to noon on Tuesday, and from noon to 6 p.m. in front of the Cornwall Centre.
