Here is the link to the building permits that Kim and Kristi provided us with. If you guys have any trouble finding out when a restaurant or grocery store first opeened during your research, you can refer to this.

Also I found this cool case study in regards to the canadian halal meat industry and how its continuing to grow to accommodate with the growing muslim population. I think this can help with research question number 1:

Growth of Muslim Population -> results to the construction of a Mosque -> Growth of Halal Stores to accodmoate religious and dietary laws.

Its basically like a chain reaction.
