Your guide to Toronto

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world and home to a large Muslim community, so halal food is easy to find across many neighbourhoods, mosques are plentiful, and there are prayer spaces at Pearson Airport. June is mild and pleasant. The TTC and ride-hailing make getting around straightforward.

2026 edition

Halal Expo Canada 2026 Returns

By GTA Muslims Today · 10:25

Watch this if you want an independent, on-the-ground take on Halal Expo Canada and the Canadian halal market — including the organiser's own preview of the next edition.

•An independent creator (Muslim Network TV's GTA Muslim City) previews Halal Expo Canada's 6th edition via an on-camera chat with organiser Nasser Deeb — '3 weeks to go… new companies joining… more conference sessions.'
•Highlights a real exhibitor success story: Maraki Foods (shababi kebab) — a company that took part early, grew nationwide, and is now starting to export.
•Doubles as a Canadian halal-grocery tour (Adonis — 'the largest selection of halal products in Ontario'), giving context on the consumer market the expo serves.

A genuine creator vlog (not an official reel) that previews the upcoming edition and shows a concrete exhibitor success story — strong, credible social proof.

Halal Expo Canada 2024 Highlights

By Halal Expo Canada · 3:12

Watch this if you're an exhibitor or buyer weighing Halal Expo Canada — it's exhibitors in their own words on the buyers they met and the deals on offer.

•Exhibitors report meeting major buyers on the floor — naming Costco and Canadian grocers — so it functions as a real B2B sourcing venue, not just a consumer fair.
•Aimed squarely at North American halal businesses: exhibitors repeat that "if you are a business owner here in North America, this is a place to be".
•Pairs the trade floor with live cooking demos (e.g. butter chicken, rice, lasagna) — a consumer-facing element alongside the B2B programme.

An official highlights reel, but the exhibitor soundbites are concrete on who attends and the B2B value — useful for deciding whether to exhibit.
