From the Archives: Southern African Legacy Project

Michael Heilbronn with his wife Rose. Born in Johannesburg, Heilbronn recognized that his future was not in South Africa and applied for immigration to Canada in 1974.  A year after his arrival, he took up distance running, initially in the neighbouhood, and later further afield with distances progressing to 10 kilometers, half-marathon and full marathon. This image is part of the online Southern African Legacy Project.

Support the Media that Speaks to You

Jewish Canadians deserve more than social media rumours, adversarial action alerts, and reporting with biases that are often undisclosed. The Canadian Jewish News proudly offers independent national coverage on issues that impact our audience each day, as a conduit for conversations that bridge generations. 

It’s an outlet you can count on—but we’re also counting on you.

Please support Jewish journalism that’s creative, innovative, and dedicated to breaking new ground to serve your community, while building on media traditions of the past 65 years. As a Registered Journalism Organization, contributions of any size are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
