Nowadays, the benefits of workplace engagement in social causes are well documented, and something the team behind Vancouver’s World Partnership Walk, Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC), has been capitalizing on since the event’s inception.
“Ever since the event began 33 years ago, our corporate teams have epitomized the spirit of the World Partnership Walk,” says Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC) World Partnership Walk Vancouver chair Likky Lavji. “These teams are passionate and results-oriented in raising money and awareness of global poverty. That’s why we continue to focus on capturing that positive energy and making it easier for more of Canada’s most progressive companies to start teams and join our campaign.”
Workplaces that may be new to the idea of organizing teams for events like this will appreciate the many benefits that come from workers joining forces for the common good, Lavji adds.
Workplace teams who want to bring their energy to the May 28 event have an entire World Partnership Walk workplace tool kit at their disposal. Featured on the AKFC website, the kit includes everything from a team captain guide to Facebook and Twitter cover photos and even a Lunch-and-Learn PowerPoint. All of the tools are designed with shareability in mind, are easily downloadable, and ready for immediate use.
The World Partnership Walk takes place in 10 cities across Canada: Calgary, Edmonton, Kitchener, Waterloo, London, Montreal, Ottawa, Regina, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria. Visit: https://www.worldpartnershipwalk.com/en/walk-cities/Vancouver to find out more and register today!
