Food, development and Ottawa’s Micronutrient Initiative were just a few of the topics I chatted about yesterday with Khalil Shariff, CEO of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada. I was visiting the newly inaugurated Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, on Sussex Drive. The delegation represents not only the Imamat of the Aga Khan, but also the very impressive Aga Khan Development Network. Shariff sees it as a place to bring the city together to speak about global issues; it’s a beautiful, iridescent building, oriented toward the public (walkthroughs, a courtyard, a resource library, a big atrium that will soon be the location for public events). There’s something about it that’s reminiscent of the nearby National Gallery. A lovely new asset for Ottawa.
