Discovery North Bay Museum is excited to hold an opening for “IMPACT”. This exhibit provides a glimpse of the impact of North Bay’s Jewish Community. It features photos that focus on local businesses, social life, military service, religious life, education, and civic involvement.

Creating this exhibit was a community effort that was led by museum volunteer Pat Moulson in consultation with Howard Kizell. The photos featured in the exhibit are from the Ontario Jewish Archives.

The Museum welcomes members of the Sons of Jacob Synagogue and the public to an opening reception at 7:00 pm on April 17th. Blueprints for upcoming renovations to the Sons of Jacob Synagogue will be on display for the opening. Donations for the building project will also be accepted.Location: Discovery North Bay Museum, 100 Ferguson Street, North Bay, ON
