A big day for Burnaby’s Ismaili Muslim community is just around the corner.
The Aga Khan comes to B.C. Place Stadium Nov. 25, part of his Golden Jubilee visit.
Farid Damji, a volunteer with the Ismaili Council of B.C., said the Burnaby-based council plans to shuttle local residents to B.C. Place. It’s estimated that close to half of B.C.’s 20,000 Ismailis live in Burnaby.
“It’s a very special event for the community,” Damji said in an interview.
