A sincere and heartfelt thank you to @jjhorgan and the Government of BC for supporting the adoption of @TheIHRA definition of #antisemitism. This is a vital step to ensuring that everyone in our province feels safe and welcome. 🙏
Join us in thanking @jjhorgan and the BC Gov for fighting anti-Jewish racism by publicly offering full provincial support for the federal government’s adoption of the @TheIHRA definition of #antisemitism. #BCPoli

That’s a wrap! #JewishHeritageMonth2022 has come to an end. Thank you to everyone who joined us for one of our historic walks or attended one of our lectures on BC Jewish History. 1/
In the meantime, there are plenty of ways to engage with our community’s inspiring history: register for a historic walking tour, read one of our online exhibits....
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the legendary Joe Segal - a community builder beyond compare. The Board and staff of the JMABC extend our sympathy to the whole Segal Family. (Joe Segal speaking at Dr Irving Snider's 90th birthday party, circa 1995).
