“I have yet to come across an individual who has dedicated so much time, resources and effort to
accomplish so much in communities within a very short timeframe. I know of many organizations and individuals who have been helped by Mr. Noorani or benefited from his many targeted,
community-oriented endeavours.”
—Dr. Godwin Eni
“Nick was an excellent addition to the program. He offers such a unique perspective on the issue,
both from his experience as an immigrant advocate and as an immigrant himself but also now
that he has chosen to make Canada his home.
Aside from this unique perspective, Nick was also very friendly, open-minded and a wonderful
participant due to his eagerness to have this kind of conversation while showing respect for other
perspectives. When he spoke it was from the heart, from a lived experience that he wanted to share.”
—Taigita Biln, Program Coordinator
“Being Canadian: The Fine Balance of Citizenship and Identity”, SFU’s Centre for Dialogue

“The speech you gave us this afternoon was so inspiring and encouraging! Before today, that flame
in my heart had gone out a long time ago; thank you for letting me recall the feeling of having it
back! I hope I can hear your wonderful speech more often. I really appreciate your offer to help no
matter what results may be. This goodwill makes us feel less being all alone and desperate. Thank
you so much! “
