Where to Celebrate 'World Hijab Day' in Toronto

FYI, it isn't just for Muslimas, don'tcha know?:
WORLD HIJAB DAY CELEBRATION IN TORONTO
ANNISAA Organization of Canada in partnership with Sakinah Community Centre presents World Hijab Day Celebration, an open invitation to both Muslims and Non-Muslims to wear the Hijab for a day.

An event for Muslim and Non-Muslim women from various backgrounds, age groups, and cultures to connect, to develop personal and professional contacts, and to get personal and career advice and guidance. While there are similar events within the GTA for women, they are limited in terms of their emphasis on the importance and beauty of the Hijab, obligations of the Hijab, requirements, lack of emphasis on Muslim women's Hijab, and lastly the absence of an active mentorship component. This event will serve as an opportunity for Muslim and Non-Muslim women and young girls to hear about it and join the initiative as a mentor or mentee. 

DATE: Sunday, February 1, 2015
LOCATION: Sakinah Community Centre, 1430 Birchmount Road (Lawrence Avenue and Birchmount Road)
TIME: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM
Er, you can get someone to be your "hijab" mentor?

Sounds like da'wa in disguise to me.

    I'll celebrate this when Muslims will join in "celebrate a crucifix" day, wearing one visibly.

    Apparently Hijab PR Day was a big hit in Buffalo:
