Thousands of Canadians celebrated His Highness the Aga Khan’s 82nd birthday. In Canada, His Highness recently received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Calgary and opened the Aga Khan Garden in Alberta, as well as received honorary doctorate degrees from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University in a historic joint conferral ceremony. He has also opened two of the world’s six Ismaili Centres in Canada, beginning with Burnaby in 1982 and Toronto in 2014 along with the Aga Khan Museum. The AKDN, with the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, sees many events in cities around the country, including the World Partnership Walk and World Partnership Golf Tournament, which were both started in Canada and have raised over $100 million in 33 years.
