Jamaicans and friends of Jamaica in the Greater Toronto Area will have another opportunity to easily access services offered by the Jamaica National Group, real estate developers and Jamaican government agencies.

The people of Montreal, Quebec are also being included this year as the 2018 JN Expo, which will be held on April 28 at the Pearson Convention Center in Brampton, Ontario has been expanded to include Canada’s second largest city. The JN Group Expo moves to Montreal on April 30 where it will be hosted at Hotel Ruby Foo’s.

Last year the Jamaica National Group held the inaugural exposition under the chief patronage of the JN Group CEO, Earl Jarrett, in Brampton and was so overwhelmed by its success and the clear demand by attendees for these services that the company wants everyone to know that the JN Expo is back.

Building on a “Breakthrough to Excellence,” the theme for this year’s event is

“Connect. Learn. Grow.”

Well over 6,000 Jamaicans and friends of Jamaica attended the first JN Group Expo which was a one-stop hub for them to access services of the JN Group, real estate developers, financial institutions and government agencies.

Hosted by the JN Canada Foundation and the JN Canada Representative Office, the expo in 2017 included participants such as JN Bank, JN General Insurance, JN Life Insurance Company, JN Fund Managers, JN Money Services, and government agencies such as the Housing Agency of Jamaica Limited, Passport, Immigration & Citizenship Agency (PICA), Registrar General’s Department (RGD), National Land Agency, JAMPRO and Jamaica Tourist Board.

Other exhibitors were: West Indies Home Contractors (WIHCON), Mooreland Development Company Limited, Gore Developments Limited, Kemtek Development & Construction Limited, Selective Homes, Caldwell Banker Jamaica Realty, Green Village Development, Valerie Levy and Associates Limited, and more.

During the JN Group Expo, there were many Jamaicans and friends of Jamaica who were delighted that they did not have to make a phone call, mail a document, or travel to the island to transact business or find out about investments in the country.

They applied for Jamaican passports, land titles, birth certificates, or inquired about new housing developments.

This year’s organizers, Lynx Canada Foundation and JN Canada Representative Office, are promising the same synergy which drew thousands to the Pearson Convention Center last year – but bigger and better.

“The JN Expo Team is committed to continue to deliver tremendous value to the Jamaican Canadian Community and friends of Jamaica as we build on the pillars “Connect. Learn. Grow.” and provide the best products and service essential for growth,” says Captain Samoura Mills, Operations and Planning Lead, Lynx Canada Foundation.

Taking into consideration a ‘taste’ of the tropical island in Canada, there will be an uplifting cultural and entertainment package and a kitchen selling some of Jamaica’s renowned mouth-watering food.

Individuals are encouraged to attend with their entire families as there will be a Kids Zone with activities to keep the children entertained.

There will also be lots of prizes and surprises.

The JN Group Expo will be from 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. on April 28 in Brampton, and from 11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. on April 30 in Montreal.
