The Jamaican Canadian Association Alberta (JCAA)

The Jamaican Canadian Association of Alberta (JCAA) was formed in 1980 to share the Jamaican culture with the community of Calgary. In November 1982 the association grew from Calgary to the province of Alberta as an incorporated non-profit organization under the Alberta Societies Act.

The JCAA has over the years and continues to promote Jamaican culture in Calgary and environs through promotional activities and by providing support to members of the association and community.

The association provides information and referral services to its community and the wider Calgary area. Information sessions are organized to cover area such as Immigration Law, Black History, Financial Strategy, Health, Wellness and Technology.

Meeting  Location

support within the community

Since its inception, the JCAA initiated and/or supported several community events within and outside of the City of Calgary. We have also supported numerous activities and initiative in Jamaica.

The JCAA has a new meeting space that has been recently renovated. Each day, members of the executive are working on making the JCAA meeting space a safe and comfortable area for active members of the community. The space is used for events including monthly general meetings, games nights, or for renting purposes.

We see ourselves as an important part of the diversity fabric in our city. Take a look at our meeting space and join our community!
