The building that once housed the Canadian war museum will be turned into a new international diversity research and educational centre.
The NCC approved the site plan and design at its Board of Directors meeting Wednesday, a project that comes to no cost of the NCC in its development stages.
The centre is a part of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, a registered Canadian charity and group of agencies that address social, economic and cultural aspects of development.
“The Global Centre for Pluralism will not only be a great addition to National Capital and making use of an empty heritage building at a prime location,” said Russ Mills, chairman of the NCC, “But it’s also an honour for Canada because the Aga Khan Foundation operates in many parts of the world and could have built this in many countries. But the Aga Khan are impressed with aspects of Canadian society, especially with how with people with different backgrounds and religions live peacefully together.”
