Muslim Community: Victor Co

Islamic Law Dept: Immigration is changing the face of the Island, and there is a growing market for halal meat, with the animals slaughtered according of Islamic law, according to CBC. "Especially refugees, they don't have cars, so we usually try to provide them this service. We have some volunteers just go over there, pick it up and deliver it to their houses," said Chishti and an expanding Muslim population on P.E.I. has at least one grocery store on the Island looking to accommodate the community's need for halal meat. 'You can see the growing number of Muslims that are coming into the stores.' Rhona Victor, Co-op Najam Chishti, president of the Muslim Society of P.E.I., said that with 250 Muslims now on the Island, demand for halal beef is increasing. MacQuarries Meat in Winsloe, north of Charlottetown, has been helping the Muslim community get halal beef for years. Every five weeks the society buys an animal at auction, arranges the slaughter, and even delivers the meat. As reported in the news.
