Canadian Jewish Congress

The Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) was an important organization advocating for Jewish community interests in Canada from 1919 until it dissolved in 2016. It aimed to promote Jewish rights, fight anti-Semitism, and support social justice initiatives. The CJC served as a voice for Canadian Jews, representing them in political and social matters, and played a key role in building community and fostering Jewish culture. Its efforts included lobbying for legislation protecting minority rights and contributing to discussions about Canadian identity and multiculturalism. Today, its legacy continues through various other organizations and community efforts.
