Myer Gordon
Toronto, Ontario
Myer Gordon grew up in one of Montréal's two Jewish orphanages. For more than 17 years, he has dedicated his time to organizing alumni reunions for the two homes as a way to keep in touch with his 'brothers and sisters' across Canada and the U.S. He has also been involved with the B'nai Brith Canada Lodge since 1969, and has volunteered with a number of community events, notably as the coordinator of the North York Winter Carnival for the first seven years of its existence.
