At Shomrim Ottawa, our mission is to protect and support the Jewish community in Ottawa and beyond. We are dedicated to combating antisemitism and ensuring a safe environment for all community members.

Shomrim-Ottawa will harness the energy of local volunteers to train and coordinate with other safety forces and police to help protect and deter threats to the Jewish community.

Free holistic self-defense training courses for Jewish youth, teens, and adults to build physical and intellectual confidence and readiness.

A trained and nimble volunteer team will provide immediate response and safety presence upon request for members of the community.

Shomrim-Ottawa will gather and leverage on-the-ground information to inform strategy, assist partners, and share awareness-building content with the public.

We are committed community leaders who draw on our skills and experiences to fight antisemitism in Ottawa and the NCR. We work with community members and organizations requiring support in safety and leverage strategic planning, community coordination, and professional expertise to develop forward-leaning strategies to address the rising tide of antisemitism and Jew hatred in our community.
