As Jamaica begins the long road to recovery from Hurricane Melissa, involvement from the diaspora especially Jamaicans here in Canada, will be crucial. Recovery is not only about rebuilding homes and infrastructure, but also sustaining livelihoods, restoring community services and ensuring long-term economic stability.
There are several ways we can support this effort from Canada:
- Engaging with recovery initiatives organised by trusted partners and community organisations.
- Mobilising local networks to raise awareness and coordinate support for affected communities.
- Providing expertise and skills in areas like reconstruction, healthcare, education and business development.
- Continuing investment in Jamaican businesses and infrastructure to support economic revival and long-term resilience.
- Accessing relief support including offers and special programmes at JN Bank, JN Money that directly support recovery efforts.
- Advocating and championing recovery efforts within Canadian and international circles to maintain global attention on Jamaica’s needs.
Every action we take now from Canada, whether through guidance, investment or support via JN and us here at the Representative Office, can make a lasting difference in helping Jamaica rebuild stronger.
