His Highness the Aga Khan, has inaugurated a new garden in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada in a move that continues his global greening initiative. The garden was a gift to the University of Alberta from His Highness, celebrating over 40 years of partnership between the AKDN and the University of Alberta. The Aga Khan Garden is the 11th such park or garden developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. The creation of parks and gardens has been an important part of AKDN’s work particularly in several rapidly urbanising cities in the developing world, including Cairo, Egypt, Bamako, Mali, Kabul, Afghanistan and Delhi, India.
