Habitat for Humanity Calgary is now partnered in builds and through common cause with Calgary’s Ismaili Muslim Community. This generous family-centred group decided we would be the focus of their annual Stampede parade Float Entry. And as in year’s past, their creative team and dedicated workers earned the TOP PRIZE.

Congratulations to all the people involved, but particularly to Al Nashir Moledina, (pictured here raising his arms in triumph at the Stampede parade breakfast) and Nazir Virani of Sarina Homes,  (who is pictured with John McMahon, Habitat’s Public Affairs Coordinator for Individuals and Faith Groups).

Yeehaw, Stampede sure is a bit sweeter when you’re riding the winning float in the parade!

  1. Found a very nice picture of the prior year’s float, which also won the best overall entry prize. In 2006, the float had been dedicated to the organization ‘Meals on Wheels’.
