Agencies, Boards & Commissions (ABC's)

At the opening of the Ismaili Centre Vancouver in Burnaby in 1985, His Highness the Aga Khan expressed "I hope that the Ismaili community in Canada, having established the permanency of its home here, will become part of the reservoir of human talent which this country can draw, both nationally and internationally”.                   

The Ismaili community has a long-standing tradition of voluntary service, rooted in the ethic of our faith, in an effort to improve the quality of life in the communities in which we live.  Ismaili CIVIC is one such initiative. There are many different ways to volunteer in the community, whether it’s by serving meals to the homeless or sitting on the board of the Food Bank.  Contributing your time and expertise by participating as members on agencies, boards or commissions will allow you to further develop your own skills while positively shaping organizations and the broader society.
