Anne and Max Bailey Centre
The Anne and Max Bailey Centre (Centre Anne et Max Bailey) is a Quebec-based non-profit organization continuing the legacy of two prominent Montreal human rights activists, Anne G. Bailey, a prominent Montreal Human rights advocate.[1], and Max Bailey, who served as a left-wing Montreal City councillor from 1947-1950 [2]and was president of the United Jewish People's Order, Montreal[3]. Max Bailey spearheaded a test case, Switzman v. Elbling, which resulted in the Canadian Supreme Court striking down the Padlock Law in 1957[4]. The Anne G. Bailey Residence at Hillel Montreal is named after Anne[5]
The Anne and Max Bailey Centre for Holocaust Studies[6]funded research into various aspects of the Holocaust [7]and brought in prominent speakers such as Nazi-hunter Beate Klarsfeld and Edwin Black, author of the bestseller, IBM and the Holocaust.[8]
The Anne and Max Bailey Centre for Environmental Studies promoted environmental activism and research, particularly around the harmful effects of pesticides.
