Dear?John,?

Read on to learn more.



The CIJA Team??







CIJA has long been advocating for expanded and improved support from the federal government pertaining to the safety and well-being of Jewish institutions and the communities they serve.



This week the federal government announced updates to the Security Infrastructure Program (SIP), including the introduction of the new Severe Hate-Motivated Incident Support (SHMIS) funding stream, which will allow organizations, including synagogues and Jewish community centres that have been targeted by serious hate-motivated attacks, to apply for prioritized support. This is a welcome announcement in the face of rising antisemitic incidents across Canada.
