A sincere and heartfelt thank you to @jjhorgan and the Government of BC for supporting the adoption of @TheIHRA definition of #antisemitism. This is a vital step to ensuring that everyone in our province feels safe and welcome. 🙏

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the legendary Joe Segal - a community builder beyond compare. The Board and staff of the JMABC extend our sympathy to the whole Segal Family. (Joe Segal speaking at Dr Irving Snider's 90th birthday party, circa 1995).
