Description
Photograph of a group of unidentified individuals at the 10th Annual Ismaili Walk for the Crisis Center of Greater Vancouver, held at Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Ismaili Walk is an annual community fundraising event organized by the Ismaili Muslim Community of British Columbia to improve the quality of life for British Columbians. Since its inception, the event has raised over $4.25 million in support of local community organizations including hospitals, food banks, the Vancouver Public Library, Simon Fraser University, Habitat for Humanity, the Crisis Center of Greater Vancouver, United Way, the Women's health Research Institute (WHRI) at BC Women's Hospital and Health Centre Foundation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and the YWCA Metro Vancouver's Cause We Care House.
In 1979, the first Ismaili congregation was established in Burnaby, Canada, to meet the religious and social needs of the Ismaili community. Since its opening, the Ismaili Centre has hosted a wide range of events, opening its doors to government officials, prominent academics, leaders of many communities, and the wider public. The Centre has also provided a dignified space for the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
