Niagara Falls, Canada—The summer season minyan that had been taking place at the Four Points Sheraton in Niagara Falls Canada has moved across the street to a new location. The kosher caterer has also moved to the same location. The new address is:
Chabad Niagara Jewish Welcome Center
6417 Main Street
Niagara Falls, Canada
There is an eruv between the Sheraton and the Chabad center for Shabbos use. Please be aware that the shul is upstairs (not accessible) and the meals are downstairs. Upon advance request for accessibility purposes, the minyan will temporarily move downstairs. Contact Rabbi Zalman Zaltzman at 905-650-3493 to make accessibility arrangements.
Jewish General Hospital—Montreal—There has been a change to the eruv around the area of Jewish General Hospital of Montreal. The hospital can now be approached only from Cote-St-Catherine, where the main entrance is located. The Legare and ER entrances are now outside the eruv.
To walk to the hospital from CSL/Hampstead, cross Decarie at the Bourret footpath or on Van Horne. Between Trans Island and Lavoie, turn right until Cote St Catherine. Turn left on Cote St Catherine and go to the hospital’s main entrance. While on Cote St Catherine, stay on the sidewalk, as the wires along the edge of the sidewalk are the boundary of the eruv.
