stability for all and as Canadians we are proud to live in a country that
provides a strong example to the world. Congratulations for your
leadership and for being the recipient of this prestigious award.'

leaders established in 1965 by Rabbi Arthur Schneier, promotes peace,
tolerance, and ethnic conflict resolution.
