The Ismaili Jamatkhana and Centre, Burnaby. Interior decorated in various different materials. Canada’s newspaper, The Globe and Mail, in a story ‘Spiritual Isles in an Urban Sea’, published on August 16, 2007 wrote: “Following on the Ismaili Centre near the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, Burnaby is home to the second of the major Jamatkhanas to be built in Western countries under the direction of the Aga Khan, spiritual leader of the world’s Ismaili community. Now known as the Darkhana Jamatkhana, it was designed by Telus Science Centre architect Bruno Freschi and completed in 1984. The Burnaby prayer hall is one of the most splendid contemporary interiors in British Columbia, with a powerfully expressed cast-concrete structure and richly ornamented window surrounds.”
