The Jamaican Canadian Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (JCANL) is a volunteer-led non-profit dedicated to celebrating Caribbean heritage while supporting the well-being of diverse communities in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Through cultural events, education, community support and opportunities for engagement, we work to preserve our heritage, support families, and create spaces where our Caribbean community can connect and thrive.
We however need more persons to get involved.
We’re inviting Caribbean nationals to join the association, share ideas, volunteer and help shape what JCANL does next. Become a member today by completing the application form linked in bio.
Together, we can build a stronger, more connected Caribbean community in Newfoundland and Labrador. We look forward to welcoming you! 😊
