The Global Centre for Pluralism, being built in the former Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, is a major new international centre for research, education and exchange about the values, practices and policies that underpin pluralist societies.
The Aga Khan Museum, to be built in Toronto,
Canada, will be dedicated to the acquisition, preservation and display of
