Your Highness, four years ago, we stood together, on this very site, for the foundation ceremony of the Ismaili Centre, Aga Khan Museum and Park. I said then that these projects “promise to be another stunning addition to Canada’s growing array of architectural treasures.” We celebrate today the fact that that ambitious promise is now a splendid reality.

We have been inspired by a great sense of common purpose, as we have sought to create places and spaces of true enlightenment. And, in doing so, we have also been strengthened by a pronounced spirit of friendship.
