- Related Material
- Library and Archives of Canada holds the records for the National B’nai Brith which contains 30cm of material on the National Joint Community Relations Committee. The Canadian Jewish Congress National Archives in Montreal holds the records for the National Joint Community Relations Committee, which contains some files on the Ontario Region, as they reported to the National office. The whereabouts of the B’nai Brith records pertaining to the Central Region activities are currently unknown.
- Arrangement
- Because records in this sub-series had previously been organized in a manner that proved impossible for use by archivists and researchers, they have been totally rearranged and described to comply with RAD standards, to provide ease of access by researchers, and to fully reflect the activities and organizational history of the Community Relations Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress during and after the period when it was a joint committee with the B'Nai Brith.

- Sub-sub-series consists of records documenting the advocacy activities of the CRC in working for improved human and civil rights with Federal and Provincial governments regarding those freedoms which are, or should be, guaranteed to persons to ensure them non-interference from others, particularly power holders and legal authorities. Such civil liberties include; freedom from arbitrary arrest, or detention; freedom of speech; the right of lawful assembly; freedom of association and of movement; and the right not to incriminate oneself. Specific proposed (and enacted) legislation was to ensure equality of access to employment, education, and accommodation. As well, these files also document CRC advocacy activities to educate governments and society on the need for legislation to combat hate crimes and literature.
