Baraka Living is a community-led initiative rooted in decades of service to Edmonton’s Muslim community. Our leadership combines expertise in healthcare, real estate, finance, and Islamic scholarship to create Canada’s first halal seniors village.
Every decision is rooted in Islamic principles and the dignity of our elders.
Built by the community, for the community — accountable to those we serve.
Open books, open hearts. Quarterly reports and audited financials.
A permanent Waqf, structured to serve generations — not investors.
