The Canadian Council of Muslim Women, The Aga Khan Council for Canada and the Ismaili Centres (Vancouver, Toronto) have launched a new series that aims to:

  • Provide a platform for Muslims who are thought leaders in their areas of expertise/professions from across Canada to enhance and showcase their contributions to Canadian society.

  • Promote discussion on topics of relevance to Canadian society, with a particular emphasis on emerging issues.

  • Bring Muslims of diverse backgrounds together to share knowledge and ideas.
