The sixth convention of the Hadassah Organization of Canada will be held in Ottawa on Sunday and Monday, September 7 and 8.
Following the resolutions adopted at their former conventions, the women of the Canadian Hadassah have recently been devoting themselves, for the most part, to the support of the Canadian Hadassah Agricultural School for Girls at Nahalal, and are at present engaged in erecting a new wing of this building, to be known as the Lillian Freiman Wing, in honor of their president, Mrs. A. J. Freiman of Ottawa. Besides lending aid to the campaigns of the Canadian Zionist Organization on behalf of the Keren Hayesod and Jewish National Fund, Hadassah in this country provides for the maintenance budget of the Motza Convalescent Home in Palestine, the second story of which it has built, as well as for the Baby Creche of Jerusalem, the maintenance of this latter being the specific work of the Junior Chapters throughout the country.
Reports of these various phases of Canadian Hadassah activity will be submitted to the sixth convention by chairmen of various committees, while additional reports will be read to the assembled delegates by the treasurer, Mrs. R. Kates, and the secretary, Mrs. R. Singer of Montreal, as well as by the vice-presidents of the Eastern, Central and Western Division, Mesdames L. Fitch and S. Kahn, Montreal; D. Dunkelman and A. Selick, Toronto; and M. Rady and H. E. Wilder, Winnipeg.
