CALGARY – Kurban Nenshi and his wife Noorjah had travelled a long way to England from Tanzania to see one of his sisters get married, but he wanted to make one more stop.
The young father and businessman had seen photographs of Toronto’s City Hall and was keen to see it in person. The couple took a trip across the Atlantic.
But in Canada, they found more than a landmark. They found a country they wanted their children to call home.
Now, nearly four decades later, the pair will travel across Calgary to visit another City Hall.
Today, their son, Naheed, will be sworn in as this city’s 36th mayor.
