- Scope and Content
- Item consists of a talk given by John Beattie at the North Toronto Community Centre on 8 May 1969, moderated by Canadian National Socialist Party Chairman Martin Weiche. During the event, Beattie briefly talks about his speech at Allan Gardens on 5 May 1968 and reads his letter requesting the right to speak at the same location on 20 April 1969, when he was attacked by a member of the public. He claims that the National Socialist Party of Canada stands for National Socialism, not Adolf Hitler, and that the party has not been able to grow because he hasn't been allowed to speak in public. He also claims to support freedom of speech and states that being allowed to speak on this occasion has been the party's greatest victory since its founding in 1965. He goes on to briefly list some of the advantages for white non-Jews to be members of the party and predicts a rise in membership in the future. He also suggests that members and supporters buy pornographic materials and Israel bonds and set them on fire. He then claims to support the Arab cause in Israel, who, according to him, were robbed of their homeland by Jews, as Canadians have been, going on to affirm that the Ashkenazim enslave the Sephardim in Israel. He also warns about the dangers of Marxism, which he claims was promoted by the Jews, and claims that the Talmud is a piece of hate literature for its alleged view on non-Jews. He then claims that Jews are promoters of pornography and divorce, which they use as weapons to weaken the social fabric of white non-Jews, and promises that, if elected, he would deport all Jews. He also calls for the boycott of Jewish businesses and claims that the party has a list of sympathetic businesses to which to refer its members and supporters. He then announces his support to Latin American dictatorships for "executing their criminals" and claims that Canada has almost become a colony of Israel, as West Germany had. He also calls for the unity of white peoples around the world and describes the Swastika as a symbol of white unity. Finally, he describes what he believes to be the Jewish plan for world domination: to mix all races, which he claims is not natural, and produce "confused" mix-raced people, while Jews will remain pure and rule as an aristocratic elite.

- The Jewish Community Centre Association (JCCA) was formed in the fall of 1936 through the coordination of the Jewish Girls’ and Boys’ Clubs to provide cultural, social, educational and athletic programming for members of the Jewish community. Located at 44 St. George Street, the JCCA offered a variety of classes; including, cooking, sewing, journalism, language, dance and art classes. It also ran a home camp and summer nursery school and organized celebrations for Jewish festivals and holidays.
- However, many similar organizations existed in Toronto at the time and the JCCA was absorbed into the larger and growing Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association around 1941. The YM-YWHA initially continued to operate many of the JCCA's programs at 44 St. George Street. Today, the YM-YWHA has evolved into the Bathurst Jewish Community Centre (BJCC) and the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre (MNJCC).

- The Schwartz-Reisman Jewish Community Centre, the Prosserman Jewish Community Centre (formerly the Bathurst Jewish Community Centre or BJCC) and the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre (MNJCC) in Toronto are the current incarnations of what began, in 1919, as the Hebrew Association of Young Men's and Young Women's Clubs, later known as the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association of Toronto (YM-YWHA). The YM-YWHA, in turn, began as a merger between several other small athletic clubs operating in the city. The original mandate was strictly athletic, but soon broadened to include other areas of interest, in order to provide a sense of Jewish identity and camaraderie through physical, educational, cultural and community based programming. During the 1920s, the 'Y' became known simply as the Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA) – the name under which it was incorporated in 1930.
- For close to two decades, the ‘Y’ had rented rooms in the Brunswick Avenue and College Street area, including the basement facilities of the Brunswick Avenue Talmud Torah. By the mid-1930s, these facilities were overcrowded and unable to support the growing membership, particularly when the young women’s programming was reintroduced in 1936.
- As a result, in 1937, the YM-YWHA constructed its own athletic building at 15 Brunswick Avenue, next door to the Talmud Torah, to ease the overcrowding. However, the ‘Y’ still had to make use of five scattered buildings to meet its needs, including the Central YMCA gym for its basketball teams. The early ‘Y’ was staffed by volunteers who were granted free memberships in exchange for their time and expertise.
- On 3 February 1953, a new Jewish Community Centre was dedicated at the corner of Bloor Street and Spadina Avenue. By the end of the 1950s, the ‘Y’ was providing services for all ages, ranging from a nursery school to their Good Age Club for seniors.
- As the Jewish community moved northward, so too did the ‘Y’, with the dedication of a new northern branch on 1 May 1961. This new branch, located at Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue, was created in order to address the athletic, educational, cultural and community needs of the expanding Jewish community in the north end of the city. Fourteen years later, an improved cultural and physical education wing was added as part of the completion campaign. This included the addition of the Leah Posluns Theatre and the Murray Koffler Centre of the Arts. In 1978, the YM-YWHA changed its name to the Jewish Community Centre of Toronto, in order to better reflect its broader role in the community. A new Northeast Valley branch was also established in Thornhill in the early 1980s and later closed in the late 1990s.
- In 1994, the Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto took over the operation of the northern branch, due to financial difficulties. At this point, all three branches became independent of one another and were no longer constituted as the Jewish Community Centre of Toronto. They each had independent boards of directors, while still receiving some of their operating funds from the Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto.
- Scope and Content
- This fonds consists of the records created and accumulated by the Jewish Community Centre of Toronto -- which included the Bloor branch and the northern Bathurst Jewish Community Centre -- and its predecessor, the YM-YWHA. The records include textual records maintained by the office of the executive director, financial reports, architectural plans, Y-Times newsletters, program material, photographs and oral histories.
- The records have been arranged into the following series: Executive director, Jewish Community Centre Archives Committee, Publication Committee, Communications Department, Sports Celebrity Dinner, and Combined Building Campaign Committee.
- Notes
- Includes 2539 photographs, 42 architectural drawings, 13 sound recordings, 4 artifacts, and 2 posters.
