The Canadian Jewish Experience: A Tribute to Canada 150, is a travelling exhibit of nine educational banners that document Jewish history in Canada. It toured Canada in 2017 with a stop at the Diefenbaker Centre.
The comprehensive exhibit touches on many aspects of Canadian life, and through story-telling illustrates both the diversity of a country and inspiration from individual and collective perseverance.
After the left the Diefenbaker Centre in October of 2017, it travelled around the south of the province with the expectation that it would be returned to Agudas Israel Synagogue in Saskatoon. It never came home so a community member spent a few months in 2025 tracking its last movements. After some sleuthing it was found in a storage space at the synagogue in Regina and has been returned to Saskatoon to be a part of the inaugural Jewish Heritage Month display throughout the month of May at the University of Saskatchewan, Murray Library Ground Floor.
