PLEASE CLICK: The Aga Khan with Canadian Prime Ministers

For the 156th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, our sister website Barakah has presented a collection of photographs of the Aga Khan with Canadian Prime Ministers since the Aga Khan’s first first official visit to Canada in November 1978. A collage of the photographs is shown below.

The post also includes a video of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s remarks on the recommendation for Honorary Citizenship of Canada to the Aga Khan. The Prime Minister in reflecting on the motion that was unanimously approved in the House of Commons on June 19, 2009, said:

“….the motion also recognizes the exquisite symmetry between your values and Canadian values, and our deep appreciation for the extraordinary contributions you are making to Canada and the world through the delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, the global centre for pluralism and the Aga Khan Museum. It is therefore my great honour and pleasure, on behalf of the Government and people of Canada, to formally present you today with that honorary Canadian citizenship.” Click HERE for more.
