- Admin History/Bio
- Joseph L. Kronick was born 30 September 1926. His parents were Samuel Kronick (d. 3 November 1962) and Gertrude Kronick (née Willinsky). Originally from Lithuania, Samuel immigrated to Canada in 1903. He founded the American Hat Company and was responsible for organizing Toronto's first union in the millnery trade. An agricultural settlement for Jewish refugees in Israel was established and named Kronick Colony in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kronick. The couple had two sons, Joseph L. and Dr. Moses B. Kronick, and two daughters, Miriam Kronick (Mrs. B. Horowitz) and Leah Kronick (Mrs. David D. Cohen). Dr. Moses B. Kronick resided in Toronto, while both of the daughters moved to Los Angeles, California.
- Joe and his wife, Doreen Kronick (née Pape), had three children: Noah, Sarah, and Adam. Joe was the owner and director of Camp White Pine, a children's summer camp he opened in 1956. The camp is located in the Haliburton Highlands outside of Toronto. Joe's son, Adam, took over as director of Camp White Pine in 1987. He has run the camp with his wife, Dana, as co-director since 1990. Joe Kronick died on 10 March 2019.
