What We Do…

Centered on our mission to support the Caribbean populations in Alberta, we strive to lift the Alberta community at large by involving ourselves financially and physically in projects that will improve the quality of life for our locals here in Edmonton as well as friends and family back in Jamaica.

At the Jamaica Association of Northern Alberta, we are dedicated to ‘Uniting Passion, Celebrating Heritage.’ Our community thrives on the collective enthusiasm and commitment of individuals who share a deep love for Jamaican culture. Through a tapestry of programs, events, and initiatives, we bring people together, forging connections that transcend generations.
