Claude Thompson, Regional Manager of JN Money on the importance of remittances from emigrants to Jamaica, Eglinton Avenue West, September 3, 2020.
Description
Claude Thompson, Regional Manager of JN Money in Toronto, speaks about the Jamaican community in the Eglinton Avenue West neighbourhood, and what JN Money means to family and friends of the community living "back home" in the Caribbean.
JN Money Services has been on Eglinton Avenue West for over 30 years. This business allows members of the Caribbean diaspora to send money “back home” to the islands - including places such as Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados, Haiti, Dominica and Guyana - something that was and still is important for new Caribbean immigrants settling in the Eglinton Avenue West community.
