A Jewish Community Center is a general recreational, social and fraternal organization serving the Jewish community in a number of cities.
As a rule, today JCCs are open to other ethnic groups as well, with possible exception of strictly traditional Jewish activities.
History
The YMHA (Young Men's Hebrew Associaton) was first set up in 1854 in Baltimore to provide help for Jewishimmigrants. A YWHA (Young Women's Hebrew Association) was first established as an annex to the YMHA in New York in 1888, and the first independent YWHA was set up in 1902. In 1917 these organizations were combined into a Jewish Welfare Board, and were later renamed Jewish Community Center (or JCC) (though some retain the YWHA or YMHA designation).
The Agreement designated the YMHA as "employer" and provided that the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission would continue to pay the unemployment insurance benefits of the "employees" while the "employer" would be responsible for topping up this amount in accordance with the rates set up in the Agreement.
From the fall of 1984 to the spring of 1985, the YMHA undertook to renovate its premises.
Because it is not an agreement between the YMHA and the appellants, it cannot alone be determinative of the existence of a relationship between those parties.
