Southern Georgian Bay Jewish Community IN THE NEWS
Peak 95.1 Jewish Heritage Month
Rashell was on Peak 95.1 this morning with Melanie Case on Talk of the Town, sharing more about Jewish Heritage Month this May.
It was an opportunity to highlight the meaningful work behind this year’s programming and the importance of creating space for connection, education, and community.
We’re proud to be partnering with the Town of Collingwood and the Collingwood Public Library to bring these events forward—each one thoughtfully planned to be welcoming and accessible to the broader community.
We hope you’ll join us.
Great job, Rashell
