In the late 1980s, Kadis was appointed as co-chair to a community group called ''Parents Advocating Student Success''. She called for a provincial investigation into the practices of the York Board of Education and sought help from Ontario Education Minister Sean Conway. She claimed the board was anti-Semitic, based on allegations that there were a disproportionate number of students of the Jewish faith who failed a grade, including her own son. She succeeded in getting the province to investigate. As a result the province then retested the students that had originally failed a grade. In 1995 she started a local newspaper called the ''Thornhill Times'' that published for one year, closing in 1996. She is a cousin of Lorne Michaels, the executive producer and creator of ''Saturday Night Live''.〔(Maclean's magazine: Capital diary: week starting Nov. 10 )〕
