Mandate

JCMI was created as a not-for-profit organization to assume ownership and management of Jewish cemeteries in Ontario that are abandoned, moribund or those for whom future leadership/management has no one to carry on. Our goal is to ensure that all of these cemeteries are maintained in a respectful and appropriate manner according to Halacha or Jewish laws.

JCMI does not usually seek out cemeteries in need of assistance; rather, these cemeteries, their representatives or other vested interested parties voluntarily approach JCMI for assistance.
