Admin History/Bio
Mount Sinai Cemetery Association (MSCA) is responsible for providing services to the cemetery owners at Mount Sinai Memorial Park. Some of these services include grass cutting, grounds maintenance, and interment services. The beginning of Mount Sinai Memorial Park in 1934 is attributable to a non-Jew, Reuben Phillips. In 1934, he applied to the Ontario Department of Health to establish a cemetery for “members of the Hebrew faith.” After the registration of the cemetery was completed in 1935, Reuben became the first manager of the cemetery and started to subdivide the cemetery lands and sell sections to Jewish organizations. A management committee (MSCA), composed of delegates from the organizations owning cemeteries in Mount Sinai Memorial Park, was formed in 1943 to co-ordinate the management of the cemetery. The first president of MSCA was Louis Palter. In 1989, a new administration building was built.
As of today (2022), Mount Sinai Memorial Park serves seventeen synagogues and organizations, including Beth Lida Synagogue, Beth Radom Congregation, Beth Sholom Synagogue, Canadian Hebrew Benevolent Society, Chevra Mishnais, Congregation Rodfei Sholom Anshei Kiev (Kiever Synagogue), Farband (JCMI), Independent Friendly Workers (JCMI), Jewish Canadian Veteran's Memorial Park Association (JCMI), Ozrower Mutual Benefit Society, Pride of Israel Sick Benefit Society, Shaarei Shomayim Congregation, Shaarei Tefillah Congregation, Sunnyside Cemetery Association, Toronto Independent Benevolent Association, Workmen's Circle (Arbeiter Ring), and Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA).

Admin History/Bio
The Women's Auxiliary (WA) of the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care was established in 1955 as a fundraising arm of the Baycrest Centre as well as a provider of services to the residents and patients. It represented the amalgamation of the two women’s auxiliaries that had previously operated at the Jewish Old Folks’ Home (Baycrest’s predecessor) – The Ladies Executive and the Young Ladies Auxiliary. Dora Till served as the founding President and was succeeded by Lillian Soles in 1959.
The WA’s initial activities included running the volunteer service, the Beauty Salon, the Tuck Shop, religious and festival programming, communicating information about Baycrest to the community, and managing the memorial books and card services. These activities soon expanded to include recreational programming for residents, such as outings, an annual fashion show, and Mazel Tov nights, running Baycrest’s Day Care program, and managing the library, Gift Shop, and Snack Bar. Originally, the WA raised funds through membership fees, the sale of happiness and condolence cards, and memorial inscriptions. In 1959 the WA began organizing an annual Theatre Night fundraising event, which was supplanted by an annual Auxilorama in 1968. During the 1960s members of the WA served in Baycrest’s Women’s Corp to help raise money for the Building Expansion Fund. In 1971, the WA established a junior auxiliary called the Capricorn Group.
Today the WA continues to run many of its programs and services and to fundraise through annual events and campaigns such as, a Gala evening, a spring sale (or Bargain Bonanza), Games Girls Play (an evening of board games and arts and crafts activities), and a Women of Baycrest campaign (to support research into women’s brain health and aging). In 2000, the Women’s Auxiliary Winter Garden opened in the Apotex Centre, which was sponsored by the WA.
