Jewish War Veterans of Canada | Les Anciens Combattants Juifs du Canada

Mission Statement

The Jewish War Veterans of Canada are citizens, residents, and landed immigrants of the Jewish faith who served in the wars of Canada and/or its allies, who have formed an association in order that we may be of greater service to our country and to one another. We associate together for the following purposes:

To maintain true allegiance to Canada;
To foster and perpetuate true Canadianism;
To combat whatever tends to impair the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions;
To uphold Jewish honour and to fight our battles wherever and whenever we are unjustly assailed;
To encourage the doctrines of universal liberty, equal rights, and full justice to all persons;
To combat the powers of bigotry and darkness wherever originating and whatever their target;
To preserve the spirit of comradeship by mutual helpfulness to comrades and their families;
To co-operate with and support existing educational institutions, establish new educational institutions, and foster the education of ex-servicemen, ex-servicewomen, and our members in the ideals and principles of Canadianism;
To instill love of country and flag, and to promote sound minds and bodies in our members and our youth;
To preserve the memories and records of patriotic service performed by the men and women of our faith;
To honour their memory and shield from neglect the graves of our heroic dead.
