Toronto’s Mayor John Tory cites examples from the work of Aga Khan Development Network, highlighting diversity as a strength, of a cosmopolitan city.
“Honoured to welcome His Highness the Aga Khan to Toronto at Inaugural Adrienne Clarkson Prize for Global Citizenship.” -John Tory, Mayor of Toronto
Earlier this year, the BBC named Toronto as the most diverse city in the world. Time and again, we have been praised for raising the bar on what it means to function as a diverse and inclusive society. But looking back at 2017, it’s clear that our city’s continued work to promote inclusion and diversity played a role not just in our quality of life, but in our global standing, our reputation and our economic growth.
As the Aga Khan has said, “Genuine pluralism understands that diversity does not weaken a society, it strengthens it.”
