The West Island has one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in all of North America. But change in the West Island is not only quantitative, it is also qualitative.
Federation CJA West Island: Bringing community together
By Kathy Lempert, Chair, West Island Executive Committee & Maia Cooper, Director, Federation CJA West Island
Bringing the Jewish community of the West Island together is the objective of Federation CJA West Island. We opened our branch in the Westpark district of Dollard-des-Ormeaux in 2006 because we recognized the need for more services and a thirst for more Jewish-themed activities within one of the fastest growing Jewish communities in North America.
