CJE Past Events Gallery
The culmination of a great deal of hard work by a small and dedicated Committee led by Ms. Tova Lynch, the impressive Exhibit comprising nine inspiring panels, entitled the “Canadian Jewish Experience: A Tribute to Canada 150”, was unveiled April 2, 2017 in the lobby of a National Capital Commission (NCC) building at 30 Metcalfe Street, Ottawa, not very far from Parliament Hill. The Exhibit can also be seen and appreciated at the Canadian War Museum, 1 Vimy Pl, Ottawa, at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa and soon in 15 cities across Canada. Amazing!
