Summary
Six thousand hungry Calgarians gathered for the Ismaili Muslim Community’s 29th annual pancake breakfast at the Stampede — a vibrant celebration of unity, culture, and community service. With politicians including Mayor Jeromy Farkas, Lieutenant Governor Salma Lakhani, and NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi in attendance, the event underscored Calgary’s strength in diversity. Dr. Zahra Shajani reminded guests that the breakfast is about generosity, not just food, while the community also honored 40 years of crafting their award-winning Stampede float — built by 50 volunteers who poured in 3,500 hours. Mayor Farkas honored his grandmother’s legacy of volunteerism and used the platform to condemn Islamophobia, declaring that hatred against any group threatens us all. Lieutenant Governor Lakhani praised the volunteers as the true backbone of society, reminding everyone of our shared humanity.
