What is “Jubilee Heritage?”

This signature international event of the Diamond Jubilee year provides an opportunity for the Jamat’s young adults and their multi-faith spouses to better understand the significance of the major institutions established by Mawlana Hazar Imam. This program, which takes place between April 13-15, allows Canadian and American young adults to visit the global institutions located in Ontario, and to better understand the purpose, vision and scope of these.

Visits to the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat and the Global Centre for Pluralism in Ottawa, and the Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Centre in Toronto will provide opportunities for networking and building life-long friendships. The program will feature panel workshops facilitated by accomplished young professionals who have also demonstrated their commitment to benefitting society more broadly.

If we are blessed with a visit by Mawlana Hazar Imam to Western Canada on the weekend of April 13-15, can I get a full refund for the registration fee? 
 
The blessing of a Mulaqat is solely the prerogative of Mawlana Hazar Imam. At this time a Western Canadian Mulaqat has not been confirmed, and no dates have been set for any potential Mulaqat. However, in the event of a visit by Mawlana Hazar Imam during the time frame of the Jubilee Heritage program, refunds of participant fees will be provided to participants who are from regions that have been granted a Mulaqat. Refunds will be provided if a Mulaqat is announced to occur between April 6 and 22 2018.
 
Please note that any other expenses, including travel and lodging would only be refundable at the discretion of the provider of those services.
