Lower Mainland

We are the Lower Mainland Region of USY! We run programs for Jewish Youth, Atid (gr. 3-5), Kadima (gr. 6-8) and USY (gr. 8-12). We run day programs (like bowling, cafe hangs, and Hannukah parties), conventions (weekend shabbatons) in our area, and join USY International Conventions, traveling across North America. ​

We are the Lower Mainland Region of USY  located on the unceded and ancestral territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial.

As we cultivate our Jewish identity in these lands we recognize and appreciate the local Indigenous nations.
