A $300-million Ismaili cultural centre is now under construction across the street from the Presbyterian Church’s national offices in Toronto.

Construction began in earnest on May 28 when the Aga Khan, leader of the Shiite Muslim group, attended a ground-breaking ceremony alongside Prime Minister Stephen Harper. — C.Purvis
