$2-million goal set for this year’s walk in park | The Province

More than 12,000 people are expected to walk through Stanley Park this Sunday to support development programs like education in Afghanistan.

The World Partnership Walk, organized through the Aga Khan Foundation, will take place at 10 a.m. on Sunday at the Lumbermen’s Arch.

Organizer Shellina Lakhdhir said the foundation is hoping to raise over $2 million at the Vancouver walk.

“This event is really catered for the entire family,” she said. “It’s a wonderful Canadian ethic of caring for the less fortunate that can be promoted within a family.”
