Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomes Mawlana Hazar Imam to Canada

TheIsmaili.org

Ottawa, 17 May 2016 — This afternoon, Mawlana Hazar Imam was at at Parliament Hill, where he received a warm welcome from the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau.

“It’s always a pleasure to welcome a dear friend to Canada, a dear friend to my family as well,” said Prime Minister Trudeau.

The pair met in the Prime Minister’s office at Centre Block to discuss “pluralism, diversity and all the things that Canada can contribute to offering more peace and stability in the world,” according to the Prime Minister.

Mawlana Hazar Imam thanked Prime Minister Trudeau for his welcome, and for a family friendship that has endured across generations. He expressed hope “that this wonderful relationship can continue for the benefit of all the peoples that we care about both in Canada and abroad.”

“Your partnership, your help, your support has been extremely important,” said Hazar Imam. It was their first meeting since the Prime Minister assumed office in November 2015.

Mawlana Hazar Imam and Justin Trudeau have known each other since the Prime Minister’s childhood, when Trudeau’s father, the late Pierre Elliott Trudeau, served as Canada’s 15th prime minister.

Earlier today Hazar Imam toured the future international headquarters of the Global Centre for Pluralism, which is presently undergoing renovation. Situated along Sussex Drive in Ottawa, the heritage building — which formerly housed Canada’s War Museum — is due to become the Centre’s international headquarters.

Mawlana Hazar Imam is in Canada to attend various meetings and events in Ottawa and Toronto. On Thursday he will deliver introductory remarks at the Annual Pluralism Lecture taking place at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto.

18 May 2016 HH The Aga Khan outside the Museum in Toronto

Post by Admin »

When Mowlana Hazar Imam came out of the Aga Khan Museum around 5:30pm on the 18th of May 2016, at least 2 people showed him the way, that is that the Imam should turn on his right side to the cars. One of the person showing him the way is Talib, the President of the Council.

The Imam refused and turn to his left where about 350 Ismailis were anxiously waiting to see their Imam. Mowlana Hazar Imam went to them and keep repeating blessings and Khuda Hafiz with a large smile (Video link after the second photo below.


This was reminiscent of what the Imam did in Boston few months back when he was shown the way to his car by security but instead he went to his Jamat and gave us blessings. What a day!

Post by Admin »

Hazar Imam and our Beloved Prince Aly Mohammad arriving for a reception at York Club in Toronto today May 20, 2016, at 8:10 p.m.

https://www.facebook.com/IsmailiHeritag ... 112998455/

Later he left the York Club.

A very beautiful evening. When leaving the reception in his honour, Hazar Imam walked slowly down the stairs, with Prince Aly Mohammad on his right side, holding Hazar Imam's hand. So touching!

A murid shouted, "we love you Mawla Bapa", when Mawla looked at the Murids, smiled widely, waved at the murids. He looked very radiant and very happy.

He sat in the right side of his Audi, Prince Aly Mohammad went round and sat on the left and then his car drove away.

A very beautiful experience. Shukr. Shukr.
