You could meet with Haji Charania a dozen times and you probably won’t hear the word inclusiveness.
And yet the concept is such an automatic with the longtime Saanich volunteer, it’s pretty much sewn into the fabric of his being. Since he arrived in Saanich in 1969 as a civil engineer who had just completed his masters in applied science at the University of B.C., Charania instantly began giving back.
“My first experience was the India-Canada Multicultural Association, we organized a dinner for India’s high-commissioner who was visiting from Ottawa,” Charania said. “It was at the union hall on Quadra, a big to do.”
He may be quiet in his mannerisms, but Charania, the current president of the North Quadra Community Association, is known for his far-reaching community presence. He’s also on the Saanich board of variance and represents North Quadra in the Saanich Community Association Network. But unless you know him, you wouldn’t learn it from talking to him.
