- "The Hennick Atrium" at the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto.
On October 13, 2011, Jay Hennick received the Honorary Degree, Doctor of Laws from York University in Toronto at their annual convocation ceremony. This is a great honour and a fitting tribute to Jay's leadership, success, community involvement, and philanthropic contributions over many years. Included below is a website link capturing both the introduction of Jay by Patrick J. Monahan, Vice-President Academic and Provost of York University, to those attending the convocation as well as Jay's address to the graduating class and their guests.
