The Ottawa chapter of Challenging Ismaili Volunteers In Communities (CIVIC) has been organizing a winter clothing drive since 2010 for the Snowsuit Fund, an Ottawa-based charity that collects and distributes snowsuits to needy children, 15 years and under. This year marks the fourth annual “Warm Hearts Winter Drive” in the Ottawa Ismaili Community
The Aga Khan Education Board for Canada (AKEB) provides information, programming, and support to parents and students, ranging from Early Childhood Development (ECD) to post-secondary funding. The mission of AKEB is to inspire and enable excellence in education across the Canadian Jamat, rooted in the ethics and values of Shia Ismaili Islam.
In fall 2013, the Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS) published the Muslim Societies and Civilisations curriculum for the secondary Bait-ul-Ilm (BUI) Encounters system. These beautifully designed books are also for sale to the entire Jamat at the Jamatkhana literature counters.
