THE WORLD OF THE AGA KHAN - 2002-02-02

The Globe and Mail. Michael Valpy writes: Canada's 45,000 Muslim Ismailis, for whom the Aga Khan is spiritual leader, are a close-knit community centred in Toronto and Vancouver known for their business acumen, educational attainments and philanthropy. Prime Minister Jean Chrétien once joked that what his hometown of Shawinigan, Que., lacked was a dozen Ismaili entrepreneurs.
