Connecting Cultures, Strengthening Community

The Jamaican Canadian Cultural Association of BC (JCCABC) is a membership-based, not-for-profit organization established to promote the cultural heritage of Jamaican-Canadians and to foster social, cultural, educational and economic opportunities for community members in British Columbia.

Through events, outreach programs, mentorship, and celebration of our roots, we bring together families, youth, seniors, newcomers and long-time residents to build a vibrant, inclusive Jamaican-Canadian community.
