This third briefing in our Federation Today & Tomorrow series looks at Federation’s evolution from past to present, and where the organization is headed next. Featuring Caryl Dolinko, Director of Communications and Marketing, and Mihal Bhandari, Chief Planning Officer, the session explores the white paper that helped guide the transition from Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver to Jewish Federation of British Columbia.

The briefing reflects on the history of Jewish communal life in British Columbia, the development of Federation’s role over time, and the changing needs of a growing, province-wide Jewish community. It offers context for understanding why this evolution matters and how Federation is moving toward a more connected, inclusive, and future-focused provincial model.
