It was a privilege for the NOBLE Institute to participate in the ICNA Western Canada Convention 2026 in Surrey, BC, under the inspiring theme, "Rooted in Faith, Rising to Lead." The event brought together community leaders, youth, entrepreneurs, and professionals committed to building stronger, more resilient communities.
Our booth gave the NIEIC team — Shahrukh Naseer Pirzada, Dr. Yumna Meer and Meer Anwar — an excellent opportunity to connect with leaders, innovators, and changemakers while highlighting the importance of STEAM‑LED education, entrepreneurship, youth leadership, and innovation ecosystems.
A sincere thank you to Abdul Ghaffar Ghaffari, Senior Executive of the ICNA Vancouver Chapter, for facilitating meaningful introductions and collaboration opportunities. We also extend our appreciation to the ICNA Relief Canada leadership for their engagement and support, including Tariq Jaleel (Winnipeg Chapter President), Mohammad Ijaz Tahir, Zubair Mustafa Mohammed, Abdullah Afzal, Kamal K. (VP ICNA Canada), Safdar Khan and many others.
We look forward to strengthening these partnerships, empowering future leaders, and creating lasting impact through education, innovation, entrepreneurship and community service across Canada.
Board Chair Dr. Yumna Meer led a series of leadership, communication and community‑engagement sessions for women at the Pacific Immigrant Resources Society (PIRS).
On the eve of Canada Day, NOBLE Institute partnered with the Canadian Intercultural Network (CINET) to celebrate community, collaboration, and Canada's multicultural identity with newcomers, entrepreneurs and leaders.
NOBLE Institute, together with Canadian Innovation Network and Robo Nova, hosted a hands-on Youth Entrepreneurship & STEM Program for local families in Delta, BC.
