Prayer times at Baitun Nur Mosque
Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Baitun Nur Mosque’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check baitunnur.org for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

These are calculated times, not Baitun Nur Mosque’s jamaa‘ah times. They are worked out in your browser from this masjid’s own coordinates and today’s date, using the ISNA convention — the same arithmetic a printed timetable uses. What a masjid announces is something else: iqamah is set by the masjid, usually a chosen number of minutes after the prayer begins, and many hold it at a fixed clock time for weeks at a stretch. So the two will not match, and they are not meant to. For the times the congregation actually prays, check the masjid’s own site or phone (403) 590-8008.

Janazah & burial services
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at mosque in NE Calgary, widely reported as the largest mosque in Canada (opened 2008). Its own contact page publishes the address, phone and email but no funeral/janazah or school information. Note: as an Ahmadiyya institution it serves a distinct community from the Sunni and Shia mosques in this listing.
Each line below is either confirmed from the organisation’s own material or marked as not confirmed. We publish the gaps rather than guess at them.
About Baitun Nur Mosque
Baitun Nur Mosque's cornerstone was laid in 2005 and the mosque was officially opened on July 5, 2008, by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's fifth Khalifa, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, with about 5,000 people in attendance including Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Built at a self-funded cost of roughly C$15 million (about C$8 million raised from Calgary's ~3,000 local Ahmadi Muslims), it was, as of 2008, the largest mosque in Canada, with roughly 4,500 sq m (48,000 sq ft) of interior space. It operates under the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, whose Canadian charitable body (Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Canada Inc.) is CRA-registered effective 1969.

Ahmadiyya. The mosque's own site states: "Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a religious organization with branches in over 189 countries," and describes Baitun Nur as the Ahmadiyya community's mosque in Calgary. We publish how a community describes itself — never our own categorisation of it.
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl facility, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased and more. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.
Planning ahead, rather than in a crisis?
The two things a funeral coordinator asks a family for are the burial wishes and the will. Recording where your will is kept and working out the inheritance shares now spares your family both questions at the worst possible moment.
