Description
Creating a safe space for Jewish families free from antisemitism and societal exclusion in post-WWII Ontario, Abe Siskind founded Wingate, an extraordinary cottage community, complete with a grand-size swimming pool, swimming lessons, and summer camp for the kids. A co-op ahead of its time, with 28 cottages built from 1948 to 1955, Wingate flourished, evolved, and transformed as the world transformed. Through interviews and archival photos, this short documentary shares the history of Wingate and memorializes family stories that have been told orally for generations, but never recorded.
