Physical Description
1 audio reel (1 hr., 56 min., 48 sec.) : polyester, 3 3/4 and 7 1/2 ips, up to 4 tracks, mono ; 1/4 in.
Scope and Content
Item consists of several unidentified recordings, presumably recorded at Wapaska Lodge. There are two sections of two different meetings, presumably held at Cottage 1 of Wapaska Lodge. In the first one, held some time in September, the secretary reads the minute, one of the kids asks about the dance, which is not discussed, and another one asks about the patio party (discussion not included); after a long silent section (unrecorded or deleted), the meeting continues, with the discussion of the Halloween party, the election of cottage representative is conducted (Jane is elected), followed by a discussion about the film nights at the cottage (the kids choose "Almost Angels" as the next film to be shown); after another long silent section, the kids discuss punishments with the adults, and the meeting is adjourned. In the second meeting, the secretary reads the minute, there is some casual conversation, and the recording is interrupted. There is also a recording of a performance or rehearsal of bluegrass music, presumably performed at Wapaska Lodge.

Admin History/Bio
The Plenary Sessions (as they were then known) were the final legislative resort of Canadian Jewry. They were held every second year, alternately in Toronto and Montreal, though this was not adhered to every time. (Once Montreal had two sessions in sequence). The Central Region held voting sessions in Toronto, at which delegate would be elected. The programme involved all the activities and projects of Congress by way of written and oral reports. Efforts were made - not always successful - to allow opportunity for discussion. The Resolutions Committee was a particularly hard-working unit. Resolutions embodied the policies and programme of Canadian Jewish Congress for the following 2 or 3 years. International speakers were always a feature of the Plenary.
Scope and Content
Series consists of general files of the Plenary Assembly.
