CJPAC is a national, independent, multi-partisan organization. Its mandate is to engage Jewish and pro-Israel Canadians in the democratic process and to foster active political participation. CJPAC is dedicated to helping community members build relationships within the Canadian political arena.
CJPAC's unique programs include the Fellowship program, geared toward politically active university students, the Generation program for high school students, the summer camp tour and campaign training. CJPAC's events include the ACTION parties held in Montreal and Toronto, as well as Women in Politics.
CJPAC encourages Canadians to get involved in the democratic process during and between elections.
