With less than two months until the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Ismaili Muslim community had its first taste of Olympic fever in Ontario.

The Don Mills community gathered outside the Westin Prince as President Manji, donning the iconic torchbearer’s uniform and a proud Canadian smile, ran past flashing cameras through a cheering crowd.
