✈ Keeping Kosher in Calgary, AB (an update)

Not long ago, one of our Canadian writers wrote about keeping kosher, visiting, and finding the Jewish community in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. One of our readers was nice enough to email us with updates to the original post.

Kosher Info (updates):

• Berel’s Bakery is out of business, as is Haifa Deli.
• The Carriage House bakery (only certain items) and Karen’s Cafe are
  still certified kosher, but the orthodox community prefers to prepare
  their own food at home.
• The Safeway at Glenmore Landing has a small selection of kosher food
  (matzo, grape juice, fish sticks, frozen chicken, shabbos candles, etc).
• The Superstore at 10505 Southport Road SW has a somewhat larger
  selection of kosher, and seems to be where most people shop.
• Kalinka currently stocks Calgary’s largest selection of frozen meat
  (including convenient pre-cooked chicken nuggets) and Cholov Yisroel
  cheese, as well as various other items.
• Cholov Yisroel milk is not available in Calgary unless you make
  prior arrangements with Chabad (www.chabadalberta.org).

Jewish Info (updated):

• House of Jacob (orthodox) has a world-class Rabbi (Yisroel Miller),
  a mikveh, and offers Shabbat and weekday hospitality. Contact
  hospitality@hojmi.org for info.
• The conservative shul no longer has a cantor.

If you have updates to information we have on this site, please email us.

✈ Yukon Territory (YT), Canada

Contributed by: Aviron | Last Date of Travel: June 2005

Kosher Info:

The large supermarket in Whitehorse carried a surprising variety of kosher bread, pies, snacks and a plethora of canned fish with an assortment of US and Canadian kosher supervision symbols. It supplemented the usual kosher provisions that we take on trips out of the Jewish travel-sphere.

Travel Info:

Yukon is one of Canada’s 3 territories located in the northwest corner of the country, bordering Alaska to the west and the Northwest Territories to the east. It is larger than California. The population is small; the land is big, wide, bright (in summer) and startlingly empty. Two thirds of Yukoners live in the capital, named Whitehorse by early settlers because the swirling mists over the wild Yukon River reminded them of the flowing manes of galloping white stallions.
