Toronto (February 22, 2018) - Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) has learned that antisemitic flyers first reported to have been received by the Jewish Community Centre in Windsor last Friday have been received by other Jewish centres, including in Victoria and Toronto.

Police have confirmed that hate crime investigations are underway in what appears to be yet another targeted campaign of hate against the Jewish community. Anyone with information is urged to be in contact with their local police as soon as possible.
