The B’nai Brith organization has advocated for Canadian Jewry and championed the cause of human rights since 1875. Calgary B’nai Brith Lodge #816 received its charter on June 17, 1917 from B’nai Brith and has been supporting local causes and contributing to the Calgary community for 103 years. B’nai Brith is recognized as a vital voice in promoting Jewish unity and continuity, a staunch defender of the State of Israel and global Jewry, a tireless advocate on behalf of senior citizens, and a leader in combating antisemitism and racism. We are the grassroots voice of the Jewish Community and part of Canada’s oldest independent and self-funded national Jewish organization.
