Canada · community hub: Oakridge / Oak Street · airport YVR, about 30 min by car. Everything below was checked against the sources on each listing in November 2026; confirm times with the shul before you rely on them.
The Vancouver eruv is checked every Friday (per Schara Tzedeck and Beth Hamidrash resource pages); no live web status page or hotline found online as of Nov 2026 (the shul pages offer none), so questions and construction reports go to the Schara Tzedeck office (604-736-7607). The Holiday Inn at 711 W Broadway is named as inside it (boundary map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1icWJw7qS0WmhGeMGS5-2WgNnuLQ); Downtown is not listed as covered. Richmond has its own Chabad Richmond eruv, supervised by Rabbis Shnayer Roth and Yechiel Baitelman and funded by donations, with an online status page (https://www.chabadrichmond.com/templates/blog/default_cdo/aid/6339770/jewish/Status.htm: green = up, red = down, flashing yellow = unverified). The Lech Lecha weekly post (late Oct 2026) showed 'Kosher'; Westminster Hwy hotels are outside it. The Kollel's visitor page still says Richmond has none. Weekly status ↗

Israeli-style meat and pareve restaurant, deli, bakery and grocery; CJN article says it bakes challah (undated) and names BC Kosher; no Shabbat meal programme found, ask about Friday take-out. Friday close is 16:00 but candle lighting is about 16:25 in early Nov, so shop by mid-afternoon. Kosher Check's list (Jul 2026) shows it as meat and pareve with no glatt, Pas Yisroel or Chalav Yisroel note, so confirm 'glatt' with the shop
Hours: Mon-Thu 9:30-20:00; Fri 7:30-16:00; Sun 9:30-20:00; closed Sat · 604-733-4912 · sabrakosherrestaurant.com
Chabad Richmond's visitor page says Shabbat meal take-out and delivery, but Omnitsky's own site does not mention Shabbat meals (it links Uber Eats and online ordering, no cutoff stated), so confirm by phone; catering needs 24 hours' notice (ask for Eppy). Beth Hamidrash also lists it as meat and pareve; its own site names no agency, so confirm current supervision with Kosher Check 604-731-1803
Hours: Mon-Thu 10:00-18:00; Fri 9:00-15:00 per site (Google shows 16:00; restaurant closes about 14:00); Sun 10:00-17:00 (Google 18:00); closed Sat · 604-321-1818 · omnitskykosher.com

Cholov Yisroel dairy cafe on the ground floor of the Lubavitch Centre (pizza, pasta, salads); Chabad BC does not name an agency, but Kosher Check's list shows it as dairy, Chalav Yisroel; no Shabbat meals stated. Beth Hamidrash's list still names Cafe 41 (604-563-4141) at this address; Google (Nov 2026) shows both Cafe FortyOne and Shuk Eat & Play at 5750 Oak St on that same phone, and an undated review says Cafe 41 became Shuk, with one reviewer finding it shut on a Tuesday despite its listed hours. Neither is on Kosher Check's Jul 2026 list, so rely on Maple Cafe

Other sites print different phone numbers (604-257-5119, 604-263-7507; Kosher Check's list shows 604-676-7579); Google and its site show 604-676-7632
