The Jamaican Canadian Association (JCA) is an incorporated, non-profit charitable organization which celebrates the cultural heritage of Jamaica in all its forms. We hold true to Jamaica’s motto “Out of Many, One People”. It is a tribute to the different cultural groups working together to form a cohesive nation and echoed by Canada’s Multiculturalism Act of 1982. JCA aims to improve life for Caribbean people of all heritage, people of African descent, as well as others who subscribe to our goals and core values. The JCA has been in operation for 52 years, a fascinating history with numerous accomplishments.
The JCA is being separated into 3 distinct but connected functioning areas:
- JCA-Membership (Jamaican origin is NOT a Requirement)
- JCA-CAFCAN (Caribbean African Canadian Social Services)
- JCA Charitable Foundations -Scholarship Division
