As these types of events go, it was no ordinary groundbreaking.
Given the event’s size, scope and honoured guests – not to mention it included the bestowing of just the fifth honourary Canadian citizenship since 1985 – it’s fairly easy to see why. Last Friday, in the Eglinton Avenue and Wynford Drive area of the city, was the official groundbreaking of a $300-million Ismaili project. A development that’s been in the works since 2002, it’s set to open in 2013 on 17 acres of land.
Included in the site are the Ismaili Centre Toronto, a public park and the Aga Khan Museum. Canada’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, was on hand to present the Aga Khan with the honourary citizenship. The Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims and founder and chair of the Aga Khan Development Network.
For starters, the Ismaili Centre Toronto is just the second building of its kind in this country and sixth in the western world. Included is a place for prayer, a library, youth lounge and public spaces for cultural activities. The park will include reflecting pools and walkways surrounding the other two components.
