Chabad House is a unique and vibrant center, providing a home away from home for Jewish students and faculty at Western University in London Ontario as well as to any man, woman or youngster who walks through it’s doors. It’s staff and volunteer workers are pioneers in the most literal sense, treading a path and showing the way to bring the light of Torah and Jewish tradition to all Jews.
Acceptance of every Jew, regardless of their level of religious commitment or practice, has become a trademark of Chabad. Blending traditional values with modern day techniques, we have been successful in reaching even the most alienated person, helping them to appreciate their roots and proudly identify with their Judaism.
The Chabad House’s doors at Western will always be open to every single Jew and human being, regardless of their affiliation and background.

Our two major programs provide hope for the future through the support of MS research into the cause, treatment and cure of the disease and hope for today through our many services that assist people with MS and their families.
Since our founding in 1948, the core support of the MS Society has been from tens of thousands of dedicated individuals, companies and foundations in communities across Canada. The Society receives almost no funding from government.
The MS Society of Canada has a membership of 28,000. It is the only national voluntary organization in Canada that supports both MS research and services for people with MS and their families. The MS Society is governed by a National Board of Directors comprised of 27 volunteer members who are elected annually. The seven regional divisions and nearly 120 chapters are also governed by elected volunteer boards of directors.
Some 1,500 volunteers serve on MS Society national, division and chapter boards and committees. An estimated 13,500 women and men are volunteers for service programs, fund raising events, public awareness campaigns and social action activities. The head office of the MS Society is located in Toronto, Ontario. Division offices are located in Dartmouth, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
Eighty-five per cent of the MS Society net revenue is devoted to program areas: MS research, services for people with MS and their families, MS clinics, social action, public education and chapter development.

Where Money Goes
There is no more powerful expression of solidarity with the people of Israel than showing them how much we care by walking in support of our Jewish homeland.
Highlighted by groundbreaking partnerships with Israeli philanthropists, communities and volunteer organizations, monies raised from the Walk with Israel will be allocated through UIA Federations Canada, to educational and social welfare initiatives that strengthen vulnerable communities, such as those in northern Israel and Sderot.
Funds raised will help enable UJA to support effective, life-changing educational and social supports for Bat Yam’s Ethiopian-Israeli community to integrate them into mainstream Israeli society. We will also continue to support successful social and educational initiatives in Eilat/Eilot, Toronto’s partner community – enhancing opportunities and transforming the region.
On behalf of the residents of Israel, United Jewish Appeal of Greater Toronto thanks you.
