The University of Victoria (UVic) faculty, staff, and students are helping to transform the lives of marginalised communities in Africa and Asia with the World Partnership Walk, an initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada. The walk, which normally takes place on campus, has pivoted online and is taking participants on a virtual voyage around the world. The Partnership Walk engages tens of thousands of Canadians each year, including a UVic team of staff, faculty and students. Since 2015, the UVic team has raised over $150,000 to fight global poverty and for many years have been celebrated as the Top University Partnership Walk Team in Canada.
