Prayer times at Islamic Association of Nova Scotia (Dartmouth Masjid)
Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Islamic Association of Nova Scotia (Dartmouth Masjid)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check islamnovascotia.ca for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

These are calculated times, not Islamic Association of Nova Scotia (Dartmouth Masjid)’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 (902) 469-9490.
Janazah & burial services
IANS (org founded 1966; current Dartmouth mosque building dates to 1971) also administers masjids in Pictou County and Truro, NS, and maintains the community's Islamic cemetery in Truro (outside our 4-city scope, not created as a separate entity here). Phone number is consistent across multiple independent third-party directories but was not found explicitly stated on the org's own site pages fetched.
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.
IANS does not charge for burial services; a one-time donation is requested from the family to cover out-of-pocket costs paid to outside agencies (e.g. headstones via a DeMone Monuments partnership). Families arrange body transport via a funeral home; site notes IANS may assist but does not itself provide transport, so left null/ambiguous.

What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl for women, by women, Transport of the deceased, 24-hour janazah line, the Jumu’ah time. 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.
