Canadian Hadassah-WIZO is
a women’s volunteer organization founded in 1917, committed to the support of
health, social welfare and educational programs in Israel and Canada. In
Toronto we have over 50 chapters with more than 2500 members ranging in age
from 21 to 101. Our members are dedicated to raising funds for our projects and
programs in Israel and at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre here in Toronto.
For the past 84 years, Toronto’s
Hadassah-WIZO Bazaar has been a
much anticipated annual shopping extravaganza,
where as many as 10,000
shoppers of all ages from Toronto’s
multicultural communities come together
to hunt for bargains, enjoy ethnic
food and participate in a unique city
wide event. Now in its
final year, our
legendary Bazaar will be held on
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008.

Our Projects
Children arrive at our shelters scared, confused and shattered.
With therapeutic services and a nurturing environment, these children
thrive and grow. At our four schools, approximately 3800 students are given the
opportunity to learn and achieve their academic goals.
Healthcare Services are provided by two world renowned hospitals
in Israel: Hadassah Hospital and Assaf Harofeh Medical Centre. Like
Canada, Israel provides universal healthcare to all citizens, regardless of
background, religion, country of origin or ability to pay.
Women need our support in times of crisis. Four thousand phone
calls were received last year on our crisis hotline. WIZO Hotlines and Women’s
Shelters provide services for 200,000 women in Israel experiencing domestic
violence and living in danger for their lives.
IN TORONTO, our funding is directed towards the building of a new NICU Patient Room at Sunnybrook Health
Sciences Centre. This state of the art facility will enable Healthcare professionals to provide the best possible treatment
for the most critically premature and ill infants. It also provides WOMEN and their babies with the most
comprehensive delivery and post-partum care in the city.
Health Care Services
Health Care Services, both in Toronto and Israel, are supported by the proceeds
of our famous one-day sale. Like Canada, Israel provides universal health care
to all citizens, regardless of background, religion, country of origin or
ability to pay. The THW Bazaar is proud to support 3 renowned hospitals:
-
Hadassah Medical Centre pioneered the development of
health care standards and practices in Israel. It is a bridge for peace,
forging links between people of all nationalities, races and religions who come
to its doors for healing.
-
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is scheduled to begin
construction to expand its Emergency Department, which currently sees upwards
of 48,000 of Toronto’s most acutely ill patients annually. Our Bazaar will help
build the new Emergency Centre for our community.
-
The M. Fanny Comprehensive Breast Care Institute at
Assaf Harofeh Medical Centre offers a comprehensive multi-disciplinary service
from the initial mammography screening through to the surgical removal of
cancers. By diagnosing breast cancer at the earliest possible stage, the Breast
Care Institute saves dozens of lives and reduces the psychological and physical
agonies suffered by hundreds of women and their families.
