Jews as Symbols and Reality in Multicultural Canada

Jews as Symbols and Reality in Multicultural Canada

April 15, 2011 | Prof. Julien Bauer
The growth of Canada's Jewish population has followed the pattern of Canada's development: a shift from east to west. Until the mid-twentieth century, Montreal was the center of Canadian Jewish life; today that role is played by Toronto. About half of Canada's Jews reside in Toronto, a quarter in Montreal, and the rest in smaller communities such as Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver.
