Canadian Jewish Congress is the democratically elected, national organizational voice of the Jewish community of Canada. It serves as the community's vehicle for defence and representation. Committed to preserving and strengthening Jewish life, CJC acts on matters affecting the status, rights and welfare of the Canadian Jewish community, other Diaspora communities and the Jewish people in Israel.

CJC combats antisemitism and racism, promotes human rights, fosters inter-faith, cross-cultural relations and strives for tolerance, understanding and goodwill among all segments of society in a multicultural Canada.

CJC speaks on a broad range of public policy, humanitarian and social-justice issues on the national agenda that affect the Jewish community and Canadian society at large.

Through its charitable operations, CJC provides domestic and international relief aid on a non-sectarian basis, following natural disasters and to isolated Jewish communities in need.

The CJC national office is located in Ottawa and works closely with CJC regions and affiliated offices across the country.
