June 02, 2009 RECORD STAFF KITCHENER
About 800 people laced up their shoes in Kitchener’s Victoria Park and raised more than $75,000 to fight global poverty.
They were taking part in the World Partnership Walk, a fundraising event for the Aga Khan Foundation Canada that began in Vancouver in 1985.
“Money is still coming in,” convener Basheer Habib said shortly before the walk through this downtown park.
This is the 25th anniversary of this fundraising event in Canada and the 18th year since residents in Waterloo Region took up the cause.
The event was held concurrently Sunday in seven Canadian cities, including Kitchener.
