Statement of Clarification
Winnipeg, MB
I am writing to clarify some information that was included in a recent article published in the Jewish Post.
The statement regarding the possible closure of the Rady JCC in 3 years is incorrect. As detailed in our recent Annual Report and covered in the Jewish Post, the Rady JCC will continue to thrive. We have 5,000 members and 12,000 participants in our cultural and family programs. We had one of our strongest years’ ever in terms of our financial performance and ability to further achieve our mission. In fact, the Rady JCC has the highest member retention rate of any similar-sized JCCs across North America. And, we finished in the top tier when our financial performance was compared to other comparable JCCs in both Canada and the U.S.
The second statement requiring clarification concerns the plans for expanding the daycare. The Rady JCC is strongly committed to meeting the critical need for child care in our community and with the support of our partners we are moving forward with our plan to develop 60 new spaces. This will be in addition to the 113 spaces that are currently located in the Kaufman Child Care Centre.
We have 93 years of being committed to ensuring our community remains strong and vital for generations to come. We welcome the willingness of the community leadership to work together to address important issues going forward so that Winnipeg’s Jewish community remains a leading example for communities everywhere.
