Advocacy@HBT: The week of November 11, 2026

Advocacy @ HBT: RCMP and ALCCA, together on November 25  

As we observe Remembrance Day, we recall the brave sacrifices of Canadians who fought to protect our freedoms. Their sacrifices and service are what ensured the beautiful life that Jewish Canadians have enjoyed for generations. As fear rises and old hatreds return, defending the legacy of our veterans is vital.  

On Wednesday, November 25 at 7:00 pm, the Advocacy Committee, the Alliance of Canadians Combatting Antisemitism, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will discuss steps that we can take to defend Jewish life in Canada.  

Here to speak with us will be Assistant Commissioner Richard Baylin, the highest-ranking Jewish officer in the RCMP. In conversation with him will be Mark Sandler, the founder and Chair of ALCCA. 

Together, they will help us paint a wider picture of the new and ongoing threats we face, and the solutions available to us to defend our community and our good country of Canada.
