B'nai Brith says B.C. Jewish groups received threats

While police in cities across Canada investigate reports of bomb threats sent to Jewish organizations, Vancouver police say they’re “unaware of anything” in the city.

This is despite B’nai Brith telling 1130 NewsRadio that some locations in B.C., including 13 in Vancouver, were also targeted.

Initially, the group did not share which locations specifically received threats. However, a follow up email noted more than a dozen facilities and organizations in the province, including over a dozen in Vancouver and two in Richmond.

It’s unclear whether any of the Vancouver groups reached out to police to report the threats, but the VPD says it has not “heard anything.”

“I’m not aware of anything….I haven’t heard anything about this here,” VPD Const. Tania Visintin said in an email to 1130 just before 9 a.m.

B’nai Brith was not immediately available for an interview, but is expected to speak with 1130 this morning.

We have reached out to the Richmond RCMP and BC RCMP for comment.

B’nai Brith Canada said previously that more than 100 Jewish institutions received an email at 5 a.m. ET threatening explosions, including at their offices in Toronto and Montreal.

“This is not just an attack on our safety — it’s an attack on the fabric of Canadian society,” B’nai Brith wrote on X.

Synagogues, Jewish community centres, and hospitals in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa are among those which confirmed they have received the threat.

More to come.
