NATIONAL COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN OF CANADA
Title
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN OF CANADA
Description
Founded in 1897, the National Council of Jewish Women of Canada united a largely urban group of Jewish women dedicated to effecting meaningful social change at home and abroad. The first section, here in Toronto, engaged in advocacy, created opportunities for education, provided shelter, and supported new immigrants, refugees, mothers, young women, and children. Before long, there were sections across the country with mandates evolving to meet the changing needs of the most vulnerable in society. Dedicated to social justice and equality, this volunteer organization has forged an enduring legacy of community service.
