We are experiencing an alarming spike in antisemitism in Canada. If you don’t act, who will?
Inaction increases the chance that Jewish children will face a future of fear in their neighborhoods, their schools, and community institutions.
You can, you must, do something about it.

To protect ourselves, our families and our entire community getting registered for vaccinations and getting vaccinated remains a priority for many people. However, receiving this service can be quite difficult and time consuming and JFS is here to help. By calling our office and sharing some basic information with our staff they can set up an appointment for you at a suitable location. We are here to help you deal with any issues and concerns that can be stressful in managing the health care system, seniors benefits program, and CPP concerns.
