Our Nation’s capital, Ottawa is situated on the border of Ontario and Quebec and is home to many diverse communities, as well as renowned museums, federal government institutions, and world-class outdoor recreation.
The Dawoodi Bohras have made Ottawa their home for over 50 years, during which time our community has grown to over 40 families and has had a dedicated community center since early 1999.
The Dawoodi Bohras of Ottawa are mostly professionals engaged in a variety of industries including public service, medicine, high tech, and business and trading. Several members of our community originally came to Canada from India, Pakistan, and East Africa as students and loved the country so much they never left. Most are anglophone with a good number of French-speakers as well.

The @Dawoodi_Bohras of #Mississauga were pleased to join MP @rechievaldez in the Coldest Night of the Year walk over the weekend. Participants walked 5 KM to raise funds and awareness for local charities serving residents experiencing homelessness & hunger.
Thank you @rechievaldez for visiting Dr Sakeena’s clinic. We are proud that - with family and walk-in doctors and a pharmacy - Aafiyat Medical Centre will be well-equipped to care for the needs of everyone in the community.
For this #SundayScoop, we are visiting Aafiyat Medical Centre in #Mississauga and getting a #behindthescenes look before and after they opened.
Aafiyat means well-being; to be safe and secure.
They are a Walk-In Medical Clinic that has #family doctors to serve our families!
