Visit the synagogue website  for historic background on Congregation Emanu-El (est. 1862), the oldest house of worship in British Columbia, and the oldest synagogue in continuous use in Canada. The synagogue recently underwent a major interior and exterior renovation, which we are delighted to be able to enjoy, thanks to the synagogue community.
