He arrived in 1732. Today, Canadian Jews number about 392,000 and form the world’s third or fourth largest Jewish community. As late as the first half of the twentieth century, Canadian Jews experienced a high level of discrimination in accommodation, employment, property ownership, and everyday interaction. Despite these impediments, they proved to be highly resilient. They achieved rapid upward mobility and made many important contributions to Canadian medicine, jurisprudence, science, education, government, the economy, and the arts. Upward mobility and increasing acceptance on the part of the Canadian main- stream have had what many community members regard as a downside: These social processes heightened the prospect of cultural assimilation, loss of traditional languages, and intermarriage. Many in the community are also deeply concerned about the recurrence of a stubborn malady; since the early 2000s, anti-Israel sentiment has sometimes engendered antisemitism, and over the past few years, the rise of “white nationalism” (dimly mirroring the same trend in the US) has resulted in increased anti-Jewish harassment and violence.

  • October 2020
    MESSAGE FROM CONSUL-GENERAL SASAYAMA TAKUYA October 2020 It has already been two months since I assumed my post here at the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto. Unfortunately, this time also saw a resurgence of COVID-19 infections in parts of Ontario. Starting Oct. 10, modified Stage 2 restrictions from the framework of reopening Ontario were implemented in such regions as Toronto and Peel, and the number of affected regions has increased subsequently. As a result, regulations have been tightened once again for certain businesses such as restaurants and fitness clubs. This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult situation for those whose establishments have been affected. I sincerely hope conditions related to the pandemic will improve quickly, and that the reopening of the economy will soon be fully back on track. This autumn, the widely celebrated Toronto International Film Festival, as well as the Toronto Japanese Film Festival hosted by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC), took place online. While the usual festivities were missed, I did enjoy some of the films at home, and considered this to be a new way of enjoying these events. Even under such circumstances, however, I was able to introduce myself to many people online as the new Consul-General of Japan in Toronto. ©Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Mr. Rick Nicholls, Deputy Speaker, The Hon.

  • Environics Research Group
    Survey of Jews in Canada 2018 Project Overview Background. Canada’s Jewish population has historic roots stretching back to the times of earliest European settlement of this continent. Most of Canada’s urban centres have well-established Jewish communities, and Jews are well represented in the country’s professions, business community, government and cultural circles. Today, Canada’s Jewish population is diverse and consists of numerous distinct religious and cultural communities, and is evolving along with the rest of society. Within the next few years, Canada’s Jewish population may exceed 400,000, which would make it the largest Jewish community outside of Israel and the United States. The basic demographics of the Jewish population are captured every ten years through national censuses conducted by Statistics Canada, which document January 22-2018 Additional cities will be added where there is interest and funding support from local organizations and funders. Additional sponsor contributions are welcome, and will be considered tax-deductible charitable donations if made as designated gifts through the University of Toronto Advancement Office (For details, please contact Heather Maclean, Senior Development Officer, Advancement Office, University of Toronto, at 416-978-1844 or [email protected]). Themes covered in the research. The survey questionnaire has been developed by the project partners, with the assistance of a small group of advisors, and input from Jewish organizations. The survey includes approximately 80 questions,
