A new Ismaili centre being built in North York will be a beacon of Islamic culture and a bridge of understanding and harmony between Muslims and other communities.
That was the message 200 people heard Monday night at an invitation-only seminar at the Ontario Science Centre, a stone’s throw from the new Ismaili Centre Toronto, the Aga Khan Museum and a park now under construction on Wynford Drive.
The guests, including Mayor Rob Ford, Don Valley West MPP Kathleen Wynne and councillors Denzil Minnan-Wong, Maria Augimeri, John Parker and David Shiner, learned about the progress of the project and the philosophy driving it forward.
