Special Imamat Day Message from the Premier of Ontario

Ontario Premier, Doug Ford, issued the following statement marking Imamat Day:

"I am pleased to extend warm greetings to our Ismaili Muslim community as you celebrate 65 years of spiritual leadership by His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV.

For over six decades, he has built a reputation as a global champion for cultural and religious diversity, peace, and a more just world that upholds the dignity of all people. His work to promote universal education, end global poverty, and foster harmony has left a lasting impact.

Over the past two years his teachings on compassion and selfless giving have inspired millions around the world. I want to take this opportunity to thank our Ismaili Muslim community here in Ontario for all they do to contribute to our province’s success story, and for stepping up during the COVID–19 pandemic and championing the true Ontario spirit.

Best wishes for a joyous celebration. Khushiali Mubarak!"
