JEWISH HERITAGE MONTH PARTNER: CHILLIWACK, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Located an hour outside of Vancouver, Chilliwack is a city of 93,000 surrounded by mountains and outdoor activities for residents to enjoy. Historically known as a part of the late 1800’s Gold Rush, Chilliwack served as a resting point for many prospectors and as a meeting point for those using rail transport.
The small Jewish population of Chilliwack is served by the Centre for Judaism of the Lower Fraser Valley as well as the Burquest Jewish Community Association. Due to small size of the Jewish population in BC, many communities overlap in the shuls and facilities they use.
We are grateful for Mayor Ken Popove’s participation in this year’s Jewish Heritage Month and appreciate his support of Canada’s Jewish community.
Située à une heure de Vancouver, Chilliwack est une ville de 93 000 habitants entourée de montagnes et d’activités de plein air. Historiquement connue pour avoir participé à la ruée vers l’or à la fin du XIXe siècle, Chilliwack a servi de point de repos à de nombreux prospecteurs et de point de rencontre pour ceux qui utilisaient le transport ferroviaire.
La petite population juive de Chilliwack est desservie par le Centre pour le judaïsme de la vallée du bas Fraser ainsi que par l’Association de la communauté juive de Burquest. En raison de la petite taille de la population juive en Colombie-Britannique, de nombreuses communautés se chevauchent dans les shuls et les installations qu’elles utilisent.
Nous sommes reconnaissants au maire Ken Popove de sa participation au Mois du patrimoine juif de cette année et apprécions son soutien à la communauté juive du Canada.
