Job description

About the Program

Aga Khan Park is a paradox to Toronto’s hustling metropolitan centre. It covers 17 acres of land while connecting two majestic buildings through a pathway of green spaces, gardens and water features. It brings tranquility to a large city, and offers a place of respite from the activities of modern life. Together with Aga Khan Museum and the Ismaili Centre Toronto, the Park is where nature, art and spirit culminate as one.

A central feature of the Park is the Persian and Mughal inspired garden, known as chahar bagh (four-part garden). Designed by the Lebanon-based architect, Vladmir Djurovic, the formal gardens sit within a natural geometry created by the careful placement of trees and water features.
