(States Twitter)-The Atlantic Jewish Council, founded in 1975, is the Atlantic Canadian office of the Canadian Jewish Congress. According to its mission statement, it is primarily tasked with "Israel advocacy, community relations, fighting anti-Semitism, and promoting interfaith dialogue and multiculturalism." Howard Conter is the President of its Board of Directors, and its Executive Director is Jon Goldberg. As a result of the Canadian Jewish Congress' reorganization in 2007, the AJC is now an individual member rather than an affiliate organization of the CJC. The AJC also owns and operates Camp Kadimah.

It is Kosher and nut-free. In 2009, ten teenagers from Sderot, Israel attended Camp Kadimah
