A note to all Safranim, that AJL-Canada is sponsoring a program on The Tailor Project together with Classi Learning, on The Tailor Project, which brought garment workers to Canada after World War Two. The presenter will be member Anne Dublin.
Here is the announcement: *The Tailor Project/ Garment Workers Scheme – with Classi Learning* *Wednesday April 23, 2025, 4 p.m. EDT* The Garment Workers’ Scheme / Tailor Project was approved by the Canadian government in 1947 in order to bring approximately 2,000 skilled tailors and dressmakers (with their families) to work in the garment industry in Canada. The program was largely funded by the Canadian Jewish Congress and organized by a group of Jewish industry leaders. A team of five men had the difficult task of choosing garment workers from displaced person’s (DP) camps across Germany and Austria for immigration to Canada. Drawing on interviews and archival material, award-winning author *ANNE DUBLIN*, who is the daughter of a tailor who came to Canada through the Garment Workers’ Scheme, will give a talk about the history and impact of this program to the Tailor Project families and to Canada as a whole. Registration is required.
