On Sunday, November 18, 2007, Shlomo Goldwasser, Tzvi Regev and Omri Avni traveled to Canada to visit with Canadian donors, press, politicians, and various honored members of the Canadian and Canadian Jewish community. The fathers of kidnapped Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev and the father in-law of Ehud Goldwasser, they were invited by the Canadian Jewish community to share their personal stories with the Canadian media, with students and with representatives of the Canadian government in the hopes of raising local and international awareness and creating public pressure to bring their boys home.

In Montreal, they will meet with high school students, Hillel students and community members and participate in media interviews. In Ottawa, they will meet with the Canada Israel Parliamentary Friendship Group and sit in Members Gallery of House of Commons for Question Period as two MPs will make statements in the House about the missing soldiers. They will also be meeting with cabinet ministers and the opposition leader. In Toronto, they will meet with press, top donors and past campaign chairs and be the focus of a community event.

The Canadian Jewish community has actively sought news of the boys since their capture, and has made it a priority to offer support to their families, lobby the local and national government and engage in extensive community advocacy efforts.
