Creative Writing Competition
B'nai Brith Canada presented an exciting educational initiative that promoted diversity and taught valuable lessons of inclusion to elementary and high school students. The Diverse Minds Creative Writing Competition invited high school students to reflect on the values of diversity and inclusion by writing and illustrating a story for elementary school students. Through peer-to-peer learning, students lead the way in creating communities where everyone is valued.

What We do
Our Work
B’nai Brith Calgary Lodge #816 and the Lodge Menorah Foundation is a grassroots non-profit group committed to supporting local organizations who serve the ill or disadvantaged and/or provide programming for children, youth, and seniors.
For over 100 years, we have provided financial assistance to numerous community charities that applied for our support.
Since our roots in 1917, and building a soup kitchen to serve Calgarians during the 1918 flu epidemic, we have donated over $4,000,000 in support of local organizations.
