History
Founded in Montreal in 1892, the Association was the first mutual aid group of its kind in the city. Its aims were to provide free medical care, invalid pensions, mortuary benefits and cemetery plots. Its members also provided visits to the sick, help to the bereaved, and donations to various charities (both local and for Israel). The HSBA was made redundant by Medicare, pensions, etc., and ceased its active work in 1989.
