Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana) has no website of its own that we could find, so this page may be the main page that exists for it. Everything here comes from the community and government sources cited below, and corrections from the organisation itself are applied first.

Prayer times at Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana)

Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Phone (416) 646-6965 for the jamaa‘ah times.

Today

Calculated prayer times for Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana), North York, for today’s date.
PrayerBegins
FajrDawn — ends at sunrise
SunriseFajr ends; no prayer at this moment
DhuhrJust after the sun crosses the meridian
AsrSet by the shadow ratio you choose below
MaghribAt sunset
IshaNightfall

These are calculated times, not Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana)’s jamaa‘ah times. They are worked out in your browser from this masjid’s own coordinates and today’s date, using the ISNA convention — the same arithmetic a printed timetable uses. What a masjid announces is something else: iqamah is set by the masjid, usually a chosen number of minutes after the prayer begins, and many hold it at a fixed clock time for weeks at a stretch. So the two will not match, and they are not meant to. For the times the congregation actually prays, check (416) 646-6965.

Janazah & burial services

Shia Ismaili Jama'at Khana (place of worship) in the Don Mills area, opened 2014, the sixth Ismaili Centre in the world, sharing a landscaped park with the adjacent Aga Khan Museum. The community's official site (the.ismaili) is heavily JavaScript-rendered and would not load its contact/address content for this session's fetch tools, so address is sourced from Wikipedia (third-party) and phone from a Yellow Pages business listing — NOT confirmed on the Jamat's own site this session, hence medium confidence despite this being a major, unambiguous institution. Ismaili Jamatkhanas typically serve registered Jamati members and arrange janazah through community/Jamati institutions rather than a public-facing funeral line; nothing about janazah specifics was found. The Aga Khan Council for Ontario (an administrative body, phone 416-492-9503 per Yellow Pages, North York) is a related governance office, not itself a place of prayer, so not entered separately.

About Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana)

The Ismaili Centre, Toronto opened on 12 September 2014, inaugurated by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan, as part of a roughly $300 million development. It was designed by Charles Correa Associates with Moriyama & Teshima Architects, and its prayer hall sits beneath a distinctive dome of two layers of high-performance glass, fritted to deflect solar heat with a clear eastern section oriented toward Mecca. The centre shares a 6.8-hectare site with the Aga Khan Museum, the two buildings set in a landscaped park designed by Vladimir Djurovic. The building also houses His Highness Prince Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council for Canada, whose published address and telephone number are those of 49 Wynford Drive.

Tradition — as the organisation describes itself

Ismaili. The building is the seat of His Highness Prince Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council for Canada, whose own website gives its address as 49 Wynford Drive, Toronto M3C 1K1 and whose about page is headed 'The Shia Ismaili Muslim Community'; the Council's Ontario jamatkhana list names the Headquarters jamatkhana. We publish how a community describes itself — never our own categorisation of it.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl facility, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased and more. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.

Planning ahead, rather than in a crisis?

The two things a funeral coordinator asks a family for are the burial wishes and the will. Recording where your will is kept and working out the inheritance shares now spares your family both questions at the worst possible moment.
