On May 28, 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th Hereditary Imam of the Ismaili Muslims, performed the foundation ceremony of three projects: the Aga Khan Museum, the Ismaili Centre Toronto, and their Park. Just over four years later, on September 12, 2014, the Prime Minister and His Highness inaugurated the two iconic buildings — the Park was inaugurated in the spring of 2015 — which have become an intrinsic part of Toronto’s cultural landscape. These buildings, with their unparalleled architectural and artistic wonders, have captivated the hearts of thousands during the Toronto Doors Open, inspiring them to appreciate the beauty and creativity that went into their design.
