During a state visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) earlier this year, the Governor General of Canada awarded medals of honour to a number of individuals, three of whom were Ismailis.
The visit was part of a wider tour of African countries that included Senegal, Rwanda and Cape Verde. It was an opportunity for the Governor General to pay tribute to Canadian women and men working for NGOs in the region.
