CJPAC

CJPAC (Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee) is a national, independent, multi-partisan organization headquartered in Toronto with regional staff across British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. Its core purpose is engaging Jewish and pro-Israel Canadians in the democratic process, helping community members build relationships within the Canadian political arena.

The organization runs signature programs for students and young professionals, including a Fellowship program that offers bi-weekly virtual training sessions on campaign strategy, communications, public policy, and civic leadership, plus opportunities to run political engagement events on campus. CJPAC also hosts its marquee ACTION parties, which bring together young professionals, business leaders, philanthropists, and elected officials from all levels of government and every major party to network and celebrate multipartisan political participation.

While often confused with community relations/advocacy groups, CJPAC positions itself as distinct: it and CIJA both work to strengthen the Jewish community but with different mandates, with CJPAC focused specifically on the political arena rather than broader advocacy work. Through campus outreach, summer camp visits, fellowships, and networking events, CJPAC aims to make political involvement approachable for Jewish Canadians of all ages and backgrounds.
