Research Topic / Main Questions:

Why do non-muslims run a halal farm?

Why did you choose this topic:

As a Muslim, when I heard that SunGold farms was an Halal certified slaughter house in Alberta being run by non-Muslims this really interested me in investigating why they would be interested in becoming Halal Certified when they have been a successful farm since 1974.

Please summarize your experience in researching this project?

My experience in researching this project was quite easy. SunGold had some great information online which was very useful. I also reached out to SunGold directly and asked for additional information and they were very helpful by answering them for me.

How did you personally connect to this project?

I am a 2nd generation Canadian Muslim who was amazed by the fact that SunGold Farms is operated in my province of Alberta by non-Muslim farmers.My parents tell me that while they were growing up in Canada in the 1970s, 80, 90s and even the early 2000s it was very difficult perhaps even impossible to find halal meat or halal food of any kind in Alberta.
Over the last few years Muslims living in Alberta and across the globe are now seeing a huge rise in Halal food options, which has been a wonderful change.

What are your conclusions about your topic?

With Islam being the fastest growing religion in the world, is it evident why SunGold Farms has become a Halal certified farm. The halal industry is a trillion dollar industry I understand why SunGold farms has invested in becoming Halal certified. This a food area which I am certain they will be profit from significantly.

Research Topic / Main Questions:

The presentation outlines the historical perspective and benefits of refugees in Canada. The main questions answered in this presentation: Why has Canada decided to accept refugees, What is Canada’s historical perspective in regards to refugees and what benefits has the country gained from this type of immigration?

Why did you choose this topic:

I chose this topic because I have personally met and family was involved in supporting refugees over the last few years. I wanted to further understand the refugee process, historical perspective and the significance of accepting refugees in the country.

Please summarize your experience in researching this project?

During my research experience, I began to notice Canada’s changing perspective on Refugees over the years. Canada took a different approach on Refugees after the second world war. Canada’s Refugee policy is now driven by values of compassion and fairness. As one of the world’s most privileged nations, Canada sees it as an obligation to offer protection to those in need, viewing refugee resettlement as an important part of its responsibilities within the International Community.

How did you personally connect to this project?

My connection to this project was working with a local organization that helped settle Syrian Refugees. The research conducted for this project gave me a better appreciation of the processes that refugees experience before they resettle in Canada.

What are your conclusions about your topic?

After conducting my research, I concluded that Canada is a very loving Country that welcomes people from all around the globe and gives them and their family the opportunity to have a safe place to call home. By accepting refugees Canada advances the country’s social, political, and economic interests. With Canada’s aging population, Refugees are beneficial for adding people to the country’s labour market.
