The Aga Khan is both a major spiritual leader and the head of a $500-million-US-a-year development agency, and his eight-day visit to Canada, which began Tuesday, reflects both roles.
As Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, he will meet and address members of Canada’s 75,000-strong Ismaili community in special events to mark his Golden Jubilee.
These events are being held in Ottawa, where his visit began on Tuesday, as well as Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, where the visit ends next Wednesday.
