An Evening of Stories, Friendship & Gratitude

Our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for our Annual Campaign Garden Reception.The evening brought together friends, supporters, volunteers and community leaders to celebrate the beginning of our 2026 Annual Campaign and the shared commitment to preserving Jewish history in British Columbia.

One of the highlights of the evening was our “Then & Now” Photo Wall, where guests were invited to bring a photograph of a parent, grandparent or ancestor and have a new portrait taken holding that treasured piece of family history.

The result was something truly special.

Each photograph became a reminder that our archives are not simply collections of documents and images—they are the stories of real people whose lives continue to shape our community today.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared your stories, and helped launch this year’s campaign.
