It’s hard to imagine a more truly international community than the world’s 15 million Ismaili Muslims.
They’re a people without a territory and they’ve made their homes in more than 25 countries on five continents. The Aga Khan, their hereditary imam (or spiritual leader), lives in France.
But it’s no coincidence that it’s Canada that was chosen for the Ismailis’ $300-million investment in a new site where adherents can practise their religion and where the world at large can contemplate and celebrate Islamic culture.
The Aga Khan himself is to turn the sod today to start construction on a seven-hectare site in Toronto

Best gift to Canada – ever!:)
