Thinking of all the innocent victims of Hamas’ brutality and terror of October 7th. May their memories be a blessing. May Israelis & Palestinians find peace and the global wave of antisemitism unleashed that day come to an end.
As Yom Kippur begins, ALCCA wishes all those observing a meaningful fast and a peaceful Day of Atonement.
May this time of reflection and renewal bring strength, hope and peace.
G’mar Chatima Tova.

A police oversight investigation has found that five Toronto Police Service officers engaged in misconduct arising from the controversial Project Olive Branch podcast, concluding their actions undermined public confidence in policing.
In this commentary, we examine the findings, highlight broader concerns about police neutrality and oversight, and explain why the case should serve as a wake-up call for police services across Canada: alcca.ca/post/findings-of-mi…
Following confirmation that the Honourable Mary Lou Benotto has submitted her independent review of antisemitism and related concerns at Toronto Metropolitan University, ALCCA is calling on the university to honour its commitment to publicly release the report without delay.
In a letter to TMU President Mohamed Lachemi, ALCCA Vice-Chair Bonnie Goldberg emphasizes that transparency and accountability are essential first steps toward restoring confidence and addressing antisemitism on campus: alcca.ca/post/alcca-calls-on…

The Combatting Hate Act was granted Royal Assent last night and is now law.
This legislation, which has broad support from across our Jewish community, includes important measures to strengthen protections for targeted communities and hold hate offenders accountable.
Here are three key ways it will make a difference.

Since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, our seven community organizations have consistently called for urgent government action to confront Canada’s antisemitism crisis.
Today’s passage of the Combatting Hate Act is an important step forward, providing law enforcement and prosecutors with additional tools, including:
- New intimidation and obstruction offences to protect access to places of worship and community institutions.
- A new hate crime offence that imposes stronger penalties when crimes are motivated by hatred.
- A new offence targeting the wilful promotion of hatred through the public display of hate symbols and symbols of listed terrorist entities.
Now that the Combatting Hate Act is law, it must serve as a catalyst for stronger enforcement to better protect communities and hold offenders accountable.
