YOM HASHOAH V’HAGVURAH 2022 COMMUNITY COMMEMORATION
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27 // 6:30 PM EDT- EARL BALES PARK- 4169 BATHURST STREET
UJA’s Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre – together with Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre, Canadian Society for Yad Vashem, Azrieli Foundation’s Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program, Facing History and Ourselves, and March of the Living Canada – is honoured to present an in person community-wide Yom HaShoah commemoration.
The program will include remarks from dignitaries, a performance by the Toronto Jewish Chorus, survivor testimony, and a candle-lighting service to memorialize and pay tribute to the victims of the Shoah and to honour the survivors. We are grateful to be returning to an in-person program that will also be live streamed for those watching from home. A return to the memorial at Earl Bales Park will be a very special opportunity for the community to come together after two long years of isolation.

YRDSB email to families from January 16, 2022:
As noted in our earlier communication to families, this year, when an inclement weather day is declared, school transportation will be cancelled and schools will be closed to students. If an inclement weather day is declared, please do not send your child to school. We are unable to guarantee appropriate coverage for students on inclement weather days when school transportation is closed and classes cannot be combined.In previous years, schools have remained open when school transportation is cancelled, however, given the importance of adhering to our health and safety guidelines, schools will be closed to students on inclement weather days.
