This year's show expects to attract over 35,000 visitors from around the GTA and across the border. "<strong>The</strong> Muslim population in Canada is the fastest-growing religious group and the needs of this market continue to grow," says Faizal Kagdi, Founder of Halal Food Festival Toronto. “Families are always excited to find out what is new in this market, and the opportunity to come out, sample delicious foods and see interesting presentations makes a great day out”.According to most recent Statistics Canada's data, it is estimated that the country's Muslim population currently sits at 1.4M and is projected to exceed the size of Canada's 1.6 million Chinese population by 2021*. As this niche community grows, the food sector will need to work strategically to fill in the growing gap. Walking through this year's Halal Food Festival will share a glimpse of the multicultural community while giving insight into the industry, sourcing and halal education.
