On 17 June, Prince Aly Muhammad Aga Khan joined thousands of participants at David Pecaut Square in Toronto to open the 34th annual Partnership Walk, which raises funds to end global poverty. An initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, the Walk has raised over $100 million since inception – and 100% of these funds go directly to international development projects in Africa and Asia. "I can’t tell you how excited I am to be here today," Prince Aly said. "Today is a celebration. It’s a celebration of Canadians coming from all of Canada to help contribute to improving the quality of life in some of the poorest and remote parts of the world."
