Carleton Place Drug Mart Maintains its Support for the World Partnership Walk
With the support of Carleton Place’s IDA drug mart, the World Partnership Walk (WPW) continue its role in building solutions to alleviate worldwide poverty by reaching a 25-year milestone.
The World Partnership Walk is a project by the Ottawa-based Aga Khan Foundation Canada. It is the largest event of its kind in Canada attracting tens of thousands of contestants and making millions of dollars.
The owners of IDA, Aziz Dhalla and Ezmail Merani, have participated and supported the walk for years. Last January 14, the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, represented by its director of operations Shakeel Hirji and Zahed Lalani, has finally acknowledged the duo’s commitment for the event.
According to Lalani, the IDA has been a supporter of the World Partnership Walk since its conception. Furthermore, since its 20th year, they have donated $25,000 annually as a silver level sponsor. The drug mart has always had a corporate team assigned for the World Partnership Walk whereby the entire IDA staff comes together to spread awareness and acquire funds for global development.
In the IDA’s pharmacy and retail outlet situated in Lansdowne Avenue, a plaque shall be displayed honoring them for their contributions to the World Partnership Walk.
This year’s 5-kilometer walk will take place on the 13th of June at Ottawa’s Major Hills park.
