About the Program

Moving to a new country is a big adventure—and Mina is here to make it feel a little more like home. Our program is all about celebrating and supporting Muslim newcomers in Canada. When you nominate someone, you’re giving them more than food—you’re giving them comfort, familiarity, and a warm community welcome (with plenty of delicious halal essentials, of course!).

Your nominee could win:

Mina Family Favourites

Fresh Mina Halal favourites, spices, pantry essentials and a reusable Mina tote—everything to bring the taste of home to the table.

Your Mina Starter Pack

2 FREE Mina Halal coupons, a reusable Mina tote, and a pair of touchscreen gloves—a simple, thoughtful start for every newcomer.
