Admin History/Bio
The Commission of Enquiry Regarding Canadian Olim was struck by the Zionist Organization of Canada and co-sponsored by Hadassah-Wizo in 1975 to investigate the situation and experience of Canadians who had emmigrated to Israel. The Commission was composed of members of the executive of the Zionist Organization of Canada and Hadassah-Wizo who interviewed Olim to document their experiences during the process of Aliyah and adjustment to life in Israel. The Commission of Enquiry disbanded in 1977.

The sub-series includes Commission correspondence, minutes of meetings, lists of observers, reports, copies of the questionnaire distributed to Olim, and clippings from Canadian and Israeli newspapers concerning the Commission of Enquiry.
