Canada's first mosque opens
The Al-Rashid Mosque, the first mosque built in Canada, opened in Edmonton on December 12, 1938, funded by a community campaign famously driven by the city's Muslim women, who canvassed Muslims, Christians and Jews alike to pay for it.

Compiled from Wikidata, whose data is released under CC0. Every entry links its Wikipedia article so you can check it. Nothing here is written by AI — each line is the label, description and date Wikidata holds, in a fixed format. That also means the coverage is Wikidata's: it leans heavily towards people with Wikipedia articles, and towards hockey. Alberta history is much larger than this page, which is why most days have no recorded event to lead with and the page says so rather than filling the space. Where a day opens with a highlighted entry above the timeline, that is a curated item: written, sourced to the page it links, and approved before it appeared here.
