Conversation with a Canadian Spy

UJA Community Security Lunch & Learn with Andrew Kirsch

July 13, 12:00 pm

We live in a relatively safe Country. That isn’t because there aren’t threats and risks but because every day thousands of people in our law enforcement and intelligence community do their best to keep it that way. Holy Blossom Temple is blessed to have Andrew Kirsch serve as our Security Committee Chair. In this conversation, you will learn about what Canada’s domestic intelligence service does, why it’s important the public knows more about it, the challenges we face, and the threats to come.
