Vancouver, 21 March 2015 — The Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, visited the Ismaili Centre in Vancouver today. The visit was a unique opportunity for the Prime Minister to learn more about Ismaili Centres as ambassadorial hubs, representing the Shia Ismaili community's attitude towards the Muslim faith and modern life.

The Prime Minister, who opened the Ismaili Centre in Toronto last September in the presence of Mawlana Hazar Imam, complimented the architecture of the Vancouver Ismaili Centre. He remarked that Ismaili Centres in Canada extend a hand of friendship and understanding to enhance relationships among faith and cultural communities, government and civil society.
