CONNECT ME IN!

From Whistler to Chilliwack, nearly half of our community lives in the Regional Communities outside of Vancouver proper, where it’s often difficult to connect to Jewish life. We’d like to change that.

Take our Short Survey Now

Jewish Federation’s Regional Communities Task Force has begun their work with a new survey to determine how best to engage Jews living beyond the borders of Vancouver.

We want to hear about the innovative and welcoming Jewish programs and services you need close to your home.

Do you have Jewish friends and family who live outside of Vancouver? Please share this with them. MORE
