A group of young Muslims from Saskatoon gather on Weyburn's boardwalk before setting off to some of Weyburn's residential neighbourhoods on Saturday, where they went door-to-door to talk about their religion.

Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association of Canada, Saskatoon chapter, their goal was to dispel myths about Islam, and to tell people Islam is primarily about peace, love and harmony, not about terrorism. Also, their stated goal was not to convert anyone to Islam, but to answer any questions or concerns people might have about the religion.

The group includes, not necessarily in order, Fathe Habib, Irfan Mehmood, Shoaib Ahmed, Aatir Khan, Basil Ahmed, Abdul Roouf, Aziz Salifu, Shahzur Naeem, and at the right, missionary Maqsood Mansoor, and Imran Babar, youth president for the Saskatoon chapter.
