Ottowa, Canada hosted the 34rd Annual World Partnership Walk. The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario was a guest of honor. Approximately 1,000 people attended the 5-km walk. The Annual World Partnership Walk raises funds and awareness for programs which improve education, health care and livelihood in Third World countires.

The walk was created by the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, a not-for-profit, non-denominational development agency. The theme of this year’s walk was “making education count.” This year’s walk was held at Confederation Park and raised 200,000 dollars. This is one of the highest amounts raised in the history of the event.
