Antisemitic Incidents 2025

Established in 1875, B’nai Brith Canada is the country’s longest-standing human rights organization. We challenge antisemitism and all forms of hatred with resolve. We provide essential food and housing assistance to communities in need across the country, and we stand firm, without hesitation, wherever human rights are on the line, turning our principles into action every single day. Since 1982, the Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents has served as the authoritative document on the prevalence of antisemitism in Canada. The Audit is published every spring. It is released in English and French, both in print and online formats.

The data compiled in the Audit, produced each year by B’nai Brith Canada’s League for Human Rights, reflects the number of antisemitic incidents reported to B’nai Brith Canada, including through its Anti-Hate App, Anti-Hate Hotline, “Report an Incident” webpage, and data collected from law enforcement agencies and other sources.

B’nai Brith Canada and the League for Human Rights are uniquely positioned to provide a contextual, longitudinal approach to examining antisemitism in Canada. As the definitive study on antisemitism in Canada, the Audit has been cited by a variety of governmental, academic, and advocacy organizations, such as the United States Department of State, the Kantor Centre for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, and Statistics Canada, among others. The Audit captures both hate crimes as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada and incidents that are outside its scope. This is essential to capture the climate of antisemitism in Canada, which requires the identification and assessment of all incidents of antisemitism that occur in the country. As such, the Audit serves as a barometer for the state of antisemitism as a phenomenon in Canada.
