It has been in existence for more than 25 years and yet for many, the Aga Khan Foundation Canada is not widely known. The foundation supports sustainable improvements in the quality of life of poor, marginalized communities in Asia and Africa, and fosters dialogue on critical global issues to enhance Canada’s unique leadership in world affairs.
One of the initiatives the foundation uses to raise funds and awareness is World Partnership Golf which was launched in 2000. The tournament takes place in eight cities across Canada and the Calgary event, held at Priddis Greens, was a resounding success.
Sponsors, players and VIPs gathered at Hotel Arts the evening before the tournament for a casual, yet informative reception, which featured an address from foundation CEO Khalil Shariff.
Others in attendance included: emcee Pearl Tsang of CTV; Mayor Naheed Nenshi; Charlie Fischer; organizers Kate Fischer, Tasneem Rahim, Laurel Edwards and Alykhan Lalani; Zahir Karim, director of Nisku Inn; Nahim Wissanji, manager of operations for Aga Khan Foundation Canada in Ottawa; High River Toyota’s Lux Lakhu; Colliers International’s Lee Levering; and Strategic’s Zai Mamdani and Sam Nathwani.
