About Louis Brier
Our Story
What started as a mere dream has evolved into a cornerstone of Vancouver’s Jewish community. Back in 1945, 14 friends known as the Hebrew Men’s Cultural Club shared a vision to create a home for Jewish seniors in Vancouver.
That home, initially built to accommodate 13 residents, was established in 1946. Over time, that modest facility grew, changed locations and expanded its services. It eventually became Louis Brier Home & Hospital, which has progressed in step with Vancouver’s Jewish community for more than 60 years.
