Zatoon Vania grew up in South Africa, where she experienced the full weight of the Apartheid regime. She and her husband fought that system and became members of the African National Congress, where they worked with Nelson Mandela. Zatoon came to Canada in the mid-1960s, where she raised a family and pursued a career. We met her at the Noor Cultural Center, where Crestwood students from the Youth Against Racial and Religious Discrimination YARRD club attended Friday prayers at the mosque and were welcomed by members of the community.
