- Admin History/Bio
- The 1985 Walk for Israel, held on Sunday, 19 May, was chaired by Bobby Katz and Larry Shapiro. Celebrity appearances along the eighteen-kilometre route included Toronto mayor Art Eggleton, Miss Canada, and Allison Hope of television's 20 Minute Workout. At the end of the walk was the Yom Yerushalayim Festival in the parking lot of the BJCC. The festival included musical entertainment by the Stan Hiltz Orchestra and the Spoons, karate demonstrations, and a replica of the Western Wall. For another year, El Al airlines donated two round trip tickets to Israel for a grand prize.
