A legal battle involving the Toronto Zionist Council, which owns Camp Shalom, a 75-year-old Jewish summer camp in Ontario, has been sparked by David Matlow, a community leader, alleging restrictions on membership based on right-wing political views regarding Israel.

Jewish summer camps in Canada are enhancing their programs by providing mental health support to campers through the inclusion of professionals like camper care directors or spiritual coordinators with backgrounds in social work and child psychology.

The Toronto building at 788 Marlee Ave., historically housing Zionist organizations and Jewish charities, is facing lawsuits and criticism due to severe disrepair, including rat infestations, mould, water damage, and neglect.
