The federal government is earmarking $10 million to help Jewish communities bolster security at their gathering places after three Toronto-area synagogues were struck with gunfire in recent days.
The money dispensed through the federal Canada Community Security Program is meant to help protect Jewish places of worship, schools, child care centres, overnight camps and other institutions.
