Well, Yvette Blackburn’s birthday party, which happened on Canada’s Labour Day long weekend, Saturday, September 4, in Pickering, Ontario, Canada, was no exception to that rule. The Toronto District School Board elementary teacher and Canadian representative of the Global Jamaica Diaspora Council, in her invites, warned guests to wear shoes for dancing. She was not joking! The tented DJ aced the assignment, turning the backyard in a literal dancefloor as no one stood still. The outdoor setting was perfect for comfort and a most relaxing atmosphere. A food tent housed the delicious offerings of traditional Jamaican fare and some Italian dishes. An inviting dessert table with mouth-watering treats was evidently a hit by the end of the night. …if you’re hot, I’m at your spot! Yvette Blackburn (right) with Sophia Findlay.

Shopping was easy, though it was hard to choose from the many designs and ware.

The Chef Selwyn Taste! has been conceptualized as ‘something uniquely different’ which was welcomed as a fresh idea for all in attendance. Multiple tents were set up as food stations to transform the locale into a frenzied buffet line of sorts for patrons, who really couldn’t get enough of the roll- out of tantalising new recipes. Mouth-watering entrées of Jerk Chicken Lasagne, Ackee and Smoked Salmon Val-au-Vent, Boneless Braised Oxtail sliders with Portabella Mushroom with Onion Jam (my fave), Boneless Jerk Chicken Breadfruit chips, Roasted Yellow Yams, Ratatouille, Rice & Peas with Mango Salsa, Roulade of Red Snapper Fillet and Candied Yams were among the scrumptious fare, infused with a traditional Jamaican base.

THE MONTHLY GLEANER | MARCH 14 - APRIL 13, 2024 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 2 Kimone Francis/ Senior Staff Reporter EMBATTLED HAITIAN Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned as leader of the violence-torn nation. THE ANNOUNCEMENT was made by CARICOM Chairman Mohamed Irfaan Ali during a press conference held at the end of a lengthy day of high level talks at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in the island’s capital on Monday. Ali, the president of Guyana, told journalists and others gathered for the press conference that a transitional presidential council had been established which will be responsible for naming an interim prime minister ahead of a national election to determine a new head of government He said the transitional presidential council would be comprised of seven voting members and two non-voting observers. The seven voting members will comprise representatives of Haitian political parties as well as the private sector, while the non-voting members will be represented by one member of civil society and one member of the interfaith community. He stressed, however, that, excluded from the council would be anyone currently on a charge, indictment or who has been convicted in any jurisdiction, as well as anyone under United Nations (UN) sanction or who intends to run in the next election in Haiti. Also excluded is anyone who opposes UN Security Council Resolution 2699. “The transitional presidential council will, together, with the interim prime minister, appoint an inclusive council of ministers. The transitional presidential council will hold the relevant and possible powers of the Haitian presidency during the transition period until the elected government is established,” Ali said. The agreement on the way forward for Haiti came hours after France declared that it would not support any negotiations with gangs that have paralysed the country’s capital, Portau-Prince, with violence, amid regional support for a presidential council to facilitate the holding of a national election. Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, the French minister of development and international partnerships, said the European country would not support any system that facilitates those against the rule of law. “Let’s be clear, any compromise with gangs and their supporters is [antithetical]. It is a redline for us,” Zacharopoulou told CARICOM heads of government and other regional leaders during Monday’s high-level meeting on Haiti at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston. She said compromised actors who lack integrity must not form part of efforts to curtail the turmoil mounting in the French-speaking country. Regional leaders spent hours locked in several “intense and extensive” meetings with Haitian stakeholders, including faith-based organisations, civil society and the business community, hard-pressed to get consensus on possible solutions to the conflict-battered country. THERE IS a growing level of anguish in Jamaica about the United States Department of State’s February level-3 travel advisory which urges Americans to reconsider travel to the island. AN ESTIMATED 2.1 million Americans visited Jamaica in 2023, which included scores of spring breakers who are now packing their bags to take off for stunning beaches and culinary delights in resorts such as Negril, which is regularly featured as a top destination. Judging from the reaction of industry officials, there is a sense that, with the advisory coming at a time when murders have gone down by 20 per cent over last year, the elevated level 3 is not the objective and unbiased assessment expected of the US Embassy. Added to that, crime against visitors remains very low, according to official statistics. Of course, advisories are not viewed by Americans only, potential visitors from all over the world are likely to be influenced by such information. Contrast the level-3 advisory for Jamaica with the State Department’s treatment of Mexico, which is categorised as “other” and is not assigned any level, as is the case with countries in the region such as The Bahamas, at level 2, and Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana at level 3. Regarding the State Department warning about Mexico, it said one of its primary concerns is crime, citing: “homicide, kidnapping, carjacking and robbery as widespread and common in Mexico”. For Jamaica, the State Department warned: “violent crimes, such as home invasions, armed robberies, sexual assaults and homicides are common. Sexual assaults occur frequently, including at all-inclusive resorts”. These descriptions could aptly describe many big cities in America, where visitors would be well advised to exercise situational awareness. A simple Internet search of the most dangerous cities in America will list Atlanta, Georgia and Chicago, Illinois. Despite random shootings at schools, malls, nightclubs and churches, people continue to travel to these cities, and the average Jamaican would not hesitate to visit, say Atlanta. EXAGGERATION Reference to “frequent” occurrence of assaults at all-inclusive properties may be an exaggeration in the absence of supporting evidence, but this should not be ignored by the industry. This suggests that there is work to be done by hoteliers. There needs to be constant monitoring and vigilance to repair that perception, for if visitors do not feel safe in all-inclusive hotels, then they may decide not to come to Jamaica at all. Having clawed our way back to preCOVID-19 levels of performance, the economic implications for an industry that employs thousands of Jamaicans to be faced by widespread cancellations would do untold damage to brand Jamaica. The police, too, have been criticised in the advisory for not readily responding to reported incidents. This, too, ought to be taken seriously, and the leadership of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) needs to demonstrate that it has the capability to be more responsive and thorough in investigating crime, whether or not visitors are involved. Reference was also made to inadequate medical facilities. Jamaicans themselves complain about this and, if the Ministry of Health were able to improve facilities for the population, then visitors would feel confident that, if they fall ill, they would get the requisite treatment. Getting Jamaica removed from this level 3 should be the main priority of the Ministry of Tourism and all the agencies and departments of government associated with the industry. We appreciate that the State Department’s top priority is the safety and security of American citizens and interests abroad. But to say in reference to Jamaica: “Government personnel are banned from taking the bus completely and cannot drive at night in certain parts of the city”, is gambling with the truth. One social media commentator summed up the advisory in this way: “If you follow what the US government says about travelling to other countries, you’d never be able to leave the US.” Those travel advisories Haiti PM resigns Henry AP Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and Chairman of the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government listening as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken makes an announcement during the high-level CARICOM Heads of Government meeting about the Haitian crisis, at The Jamaica Pegasus Hotel on Monday.

relationships, and the uncompromising importance of integrity. The ambassador’s narrative transitioned seamlessly into a broader discourse on the systemic barriers women face and the critical need for structural changes to facilitate women’s economic and social empowerment. She called on leaders, policymakers, and community members to invest in women, highlighting the undeniable return on this investment for society’s broader prosperity and well-being. In closing, Ambassador Marks reiterated the imperative for action, stating, “To forge a future where everyone thrives, we must all contribute to creating a world brimming with opportunities, where women empowerment is the norm not the exception.” THE MONTHLY GLEANER | MARCH 14 - APRIL 13, 2024 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 3 Will ELAINE PACKEEL-DAVIS daughter of the late Simeon Packeel whose last known address is Port Charlotte, Florida 33948-5744 in the United States of America or anyone knowing her whereabouts please urgently contact Delroy Chuck & Co. Attorneys-at-Law 37 East Street, Kingston, Jamaica Telephone: 876-922-4654 Email: info@delroychuckco.com WHEREABOUTS NOTICE FOREIGN AFFAIRS and Foreign Trade Minister Kamina Johnson Smith has declared Jamaica’s full support for the free movement of all CARICOM nationals within the region, a move that will go beyond the current regime under the Caribbean Single Market and Economy, which allows for the free movement of agreed categories of skilled workers. DURING A meeting of the Standing Finance Committee of Parliament on Wednesday evening, Opposition spokesman on industry, competitiveness and global logistics, Anthony Hylton, quizzed Johnson Smith on Jamaica’s position regarding CARICOM’s thrust to open up free movement of nationals within the regional space. Johnson Smith told lawmakers in the Lower House that coming out of the recent CARICOM meetings the heads of government committed to carry out work on the new arrangement, but will consider amendments to provide for a transitional period of three years. She said proposals are also being made to amend the treaty to secure minimum benefits to a CARICOM national if she moved to live in another CARICOM state. Johnson Smith observed that one member state had indicated that it would not be participating in the move. The Antigua and Barbuda government has said it would not be participating in the full free movement of CARICOM nationals. It contends that full free movement is too much for the country at this point in time. The Antiguan Government is reported to have said that if it allowed the unrestricted flow of CARICOM nationals into its country, it would overwhelm its social services and other aspects of life in the small island. Reiterating Jamaica’s support for full free movement within CARICOM, Johnson Smith said, “The ability to move and work and live would be the most profound way in which nationals can experience CARICOM in a real way.” She said Jamaica continues to play its part in the intergovernmental task force, which is responsible for all the technical work. “I know that they are meeting with the legal affairs committee, as well as all the different arms that are going to be necessary to propose the amendments to the treaty and to propose some clear policy decisions that heads will have to take later this month.” CARICOM heads of government are expected to meet in another week to sign-off on arrangements that would facilitate the free and full movement of CARICOM nationals by the end of March. During a recent press conference following the 46th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM, held in Georgetown, Guyana, Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley said that the Caribbean Community was on track to fulfil the mandate of the regional body at its 50th historic meeting in Trinidad and Tobago last year. editorial@gleanerjm.com Ja commits to free travel for CARICOM nationals within region Kamina Johnson Smith, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade NEW YORK: JAMAICA’S AMBASSADOR to the United States, Audrey Marks, on Saturday, pointed to the pivotal role women play in creating a safer and healthier world, and spotlighted the compelling need for women’s economic empowerment. Ambassador Marks’comments came as she addressed the International Women’s Conference hosted by Nevalliance at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, to enhance awareness on women’s issues and generate resources to support women’s growth. “Investing in women is not just a moral imperative, but a strategic global necessity,” Marks emphasised. Highlighting alarming statistics from UN Women, she noted that an additional US$360 billion per year is required by developing countries to achieve gender equality under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Closing gender gaps in employment could boost GDP per capita by an impressive 20 per cent,” Marks added, illustrating the vast economic benefits of gender parity. Yet despite the clear advantages, the current rate of investment in women is woefully inadequate. “At this trajectory, more than 340 million women and girls will still live in extreme poverty by 2030,” Marks lamented, underlining the stark reality faced by millions if immediate action is not taken. This data framed the profound context for this year’s international women’s day theme, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,” echoing a worldwide call to action. Marks’ address was not just a presentation of data, but a rallying cry for societal change. She urged attendees and stakeholders worldwide to recognise the crucial role women play in confronting some of the most pressing global challenges today, from geopolitical conflicts and rising poverty levels to the escalating impacts of climate change. “As half of the world’s population, women are not just participants, but key drivers of economic growth and societal contributions,” Marks asserted. She drew attention to the diverse roles women occupy, from scientists and military members to entrepreneurs, educators, and political leaders, underscoring their essential contributions across the spectrum of human endeavour. Marks called on women to step forward as active participants in the fight for gender equality. Emphasising the conference’s theme,“leading ladies,” She championed the idea that women must not only advocate for change, but embody it, inspiring others by becoming exemplary figures in all spheres of life. “We must all become leading ladies in our own right,” Marks declared, invoking the collective power and responsibility of women worldwide. Marks’ speech encapsulated the vision of women not just as contributors, but as pioneers at the forefront of societal progress. Echoing Melinda Gates’ sentiment on empowering daughters to find their voice, Marks emphasised the importance of role modelling for the next generation. “Let us be the change we wish to see,” she urged, calling on women to lead by example and show the world the strength and capability inherent in female leadership. Marks stressed the importance of visibility and influence, asserting that role models are needed at all levels of society to foster a culture that values and enables women. Reflecting on her own experiences, Marks shared powerful lessons on embracing innovation, the value of ‘We must all become leading ladies’ - Amb Marks Champions women’s economic empowerment at international conference Jamaica’s Ambassador to the United States, Audrey Marks (second from right) with (from left) Dr. Neva Alexander, chief executive officer, Nevalliance; Jamaica’s consul general in New York, Alsion Wilson; former P resident of the Jamaica Nurses Group of New York( JAGYN )Claudette Powell;Past presidents of the Union of Jamaica Alumni Association (UJAA) Karlene Largie, and Lesleyann Samuels.

On Sunday, April 21 at high noon, inside the trendy Greentree Country Club, New Rochelle, NY, just outside the city limits, the venerable, volunteerdriven organisation will have lunch with benefactors, patrons, honorees and supporters at its annual Spring Luncheon Fundraiser, under the banner ’34 Years of Humility & Love’. This year, the OID will recognise four individuals for sterling service to humanity, the community and volunteerism in general. Dr Sunil Stephenson, MBBS, and Dr Daniel Goldstein will each receive the OID Humanitarian Service Award. Cordella Cautherie, RH, MPH, will receive the OID Volunteer Service Award, and Normadelle Rose, office manager/RJRGLEANER-NA, will be presented with the OID Community Service Award. According to OID President, Dr Michelle Malcolm-James, DNP, FNP, “Our honourees continue to make a difference and a positive impact on our programmes and its mission. and especially in the fight for affordable healthcare to underserved communities around the world”. “We have since identified a critical need for expanded screening services in Jamaica, evidenced by the alarming rates of breast, prostate and cervical cancers in the (Caribbean) region, in general. Lives are at stake and time is of the essence,” she offered, clinically. “And so, to address this pressing issue, OID has launched a campaign to acquire a mobile mammography van that will bring this very essential screening and life-saving service directly to communities in need,” she continued. COLLABORATIVE EFFORT In a very passionate appeal, Dr Malcolm James said that, by making a substantial contribution, “you will have a direct and immediate impact on the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can work towards a future where cancer is no longer a leading cause of death in Jamaica”. At the outset, the proposed mobile medical unit (mammography machine) will provide screening for various types of cancers, using minimally invasive methods such as medical imaging devices, Pap smears and bloodwork, and will be supported by a dedicated team of registered radiology and mammography technicians. Acquiring the mobile mammography van is a collaborative effort with the Northern Caribbean University (NCU). With Jamaica as its focus, OID has since expanded its services to include; Brazil, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Carriacou & Petite Martinique; St Vincent - Bequia and Canouan & The Grenadines; St Lucia, India, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, South Africa and the United States, providing needed services in the areas of paediatrics, gynaecology, medicine, dentistry, ophthalmology, physical therapy and social services. Outside of the deep dive in medicine and community healthcare, the organisation sponsors vocational programmes, rebuilds homes, funds academically talented students, and helps communities with the construction of libraries and health centres. All proceeds from the Spring Luncheon Fundraiser will benefit ongoing work in Jamaica and planned medical missions to the Caribbean and southern regions of Africa. FT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA: DEM 3 JAMAICAN TENORS, a trio of three generations of classically trained Jamaican singers, who thrilled the hearts of many fans in the USA and Jamaica for over a decade, now has to contend with the death of another of its members. Nonagenarian David Augustus Reid, O.D. died on February 12.

Dem 3 Jamaican Tenors brought together three friends - David Reid, Cecil Cooper, and Steve Higgins - all tenors, who started their performing careers in Jamaica. They toured many cities in the USA to critical acclaim until Cecil Cooper’s passing in 2016 and David Reid’s retirement at 88 years old. They sang Broadway standards, ballads, jazz, Jamaican folk music, classical arias, and of course, sacred music. The gentlemen’s act was punctuated with their delightful signature repartee, which left their admiring patrons in stitches. “Sadly, Cecil Cooper left us just seven years ago, and now, we say goodbye to David Reid. Steve Higgins continues the musical legacy of Dem 3 Jamaican Tenors from his base in Ft Lauderdale Florida, with both Cooper’s and Reid’s blessing. These concerts will be under the Steve Higgins Productions banner in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Europe,” the release noted. “David was like a father to me and Cecil the brother I never had. This is the end of an era, and I miss them dreadfully,” said Higgins. “Although devastated, it warms my heart that we have audio and video recordings of both David Reid’s and Cecil Cooper’s voices, especially our official Dem 3 Jamaican Tenors CD, which is still available for all to enjoy. It has been an immeasurable honour to have sung and partnered with this pair of worldclass troubadours.” OID hosts annual fundraising Spring Luncheon Marcia Green, DDS (left), with the help of a teacher (right) does a routine exam of a student (centre) during the OID Jamaica Mission Stop at the Mount Hannah Basic School, Hanover, January 13 to 20.

THE MONTHLY GLEANER | MARCH 14 - APRIL 13, 2024 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | NEWS 6 NEWS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED DCP Dr Kevin Blake A LEGAL challenge is looming for the release of some 300 mentally ill detainees languishing in prison, some for decades, awaiting trial for various crimes. A group of attorneys representing human rights advocates Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) and Stand Up for Jamaica (SUFJ) have filed an application asking the Supreme Court to allow them to bring a class action-type lawsuit against the State over the treatment of mentally ill persons in conflict with the law. The class action-type lawsuit, if it gets the go-ahead, would seek court orders for the release and “proper treatment” of all mentally ill detainees as well as other remedies for alleged constitutional breaches, the attorneys explained to The Sunday Gleaner last week. Prison officials estimated in 2020 that approximately 300 mentally-challenged persons in conflict with the law were being housed at three penal institutions, with close to half of them listed as “awaiting trial”. UNITED STATES (US)-based Century Aluminum plans to invest up to US$15 million (J$2.3 billion) in the alumina operations at Jamalco in Clarendon this year, which doubles its investment a year earlier. The investments include new equipment, but also funds to maintain operations. “The US$10 to US$15 million reflects the restoration projects and the powerhouse,”said Jesse Gary, president and CEO of Century in an investor call on Wednesday following the release of the manufacturer’s earnings report. “So, there is a mix of investments in sustaining capital expenditure as well.” The company invested US$7 million in capital expenditure in Jamalco in 2023, and will continue investing in building Jamalco’s asset base until 2026, according to ma Jamalco to get US$15 million in 2024 Jailed illegally ESTELLA WHEELER, a 64-year-old Jamaica-born schoolteacher was allegedly killed by her husband in Vaughan in Ontario, Canada last Wednesday. Wheeler was a grades seven and eight teacher at the Africentric Alternative School in North York, Toronto. Her husband, Trevor Wheeler, 68, has since been charged with second-degree murder, according to Canadian media reports. York Regional police reports are that, on Wednesday, March 6 at approximately 12:30 a.m., police responded to an address on Isa Court, in the area of Highway 27 and Langstaff Road. When officers arrived on the scene, they located a woman with serious injuries. Despite life-saving measures, the victim was pronounced dead on the scene. Estella is originally from Clarendon in Jamaica, where she attended Clarendon College. The couple migrated from Jamaica and has lived in the community for about 15 years, neighbours told reporters. THE JAMAICAN Consulate in Manhattan, New York, was scheduled to reopen to the general public on Monday, March 11 at its new location – 300 East 42nd Street at Second Avenue.

Jamaicans and others will be able to access all passport, visa and other consular services at the new location which offers much more space not only for the public, but for staff as well. A recent tour of the new facilities showed several enhanced features at the new location, including bigger space for visitors wanting passport and visa services; more windows for officers to attend to the public; bigger conference room space, as well as a drop down-jumbo television to provide information to the public. Patrons visiting the consulate’s facilities will be greeted with up-to-theminute information on a television on the process for accessing services.

9 PHILADELPHIA: THE PENN Relays presented by Toyota, in conjunction with On, has announced the move to World Athletics Continental Tour Silver status for the 2024 event. This makes The Penn Relays one of just five Silver or Gold events in the United States. “The Penn Relays’ partnership with On has been a key component in our ability to attract and host some of the best track & field athletes in the world over the last few years,” said Steve Dolan, the Frank Dolson director of The Penn Relays. “Thanks to On’s continued support, we are very pleased to announce that the 128th running of the Penn Relays will be elevated to Silver status on the World Athletics tour. Both the individual Olympic Development events and the Global Relays are sure to provide an incredible experience for the elite competitors and the spirited crowd in Franklin Field.” At Silver status, athletes will acquire more World Athletics points toward Olympic Games qualification and world ranking. Additionally, it will increase prize money for athlete performance, in hand, providing for a more top-tiered event for our fans. “The Penn Relays has a beautiful heritage of bringing together athletes and fans to celebrate performance, achievement and community,” said Britt Olsen, GM, Americas at On. “We are excited to be a driving player to defining the next chapter of Penn Relays to further solidify the event as a major moment in US track & field.” A release to the media outlined that for the 2024 Penn Relays, 12 elite events will make the move to Silver status: M/W 400m M/W 800m Men’s Mile Women’s 1,500m M/W High Jump M/W 4x100m Global Relays M/W 4x400m Global Relays The recent addition of the Global Relays in partnership with World Athletics will be a part of the Continental Tour Silver status, bringing in teams from all over the world ahead of the World Relays in the Bahamas and the Olympic Games in Paris this summer. Tickets for the event set for April 25-27 at historic Franklin Field will increase on April 1 and again on race day.

Neil Armstrong/Gleaner Writer TORONTO: THE SUDDEN death of beloved educator and consultant Jay Williams has resulted in an outpouring of tributes on various media platforms. Williams, 40, died in the early hours of February 29 – three weeks after attending the swearing-in ceremony for his mother, Jamaica-born Paulette Senior, to the Senate of Canada in Ottawa. He was very proud of her and posted a message on his Facebook page in tribute to her. In an announcement of the funeral details, his family thanked everyone for the messages of “condolences and outpouring of support as we navigate our heartbreak and our way through life without him.” Williams was an educator for 14 years at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), and the Black Student Success and Excellence initiative at the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement and Model Schools for Inner Cities. He taught mainly Grade 8 in TDSB middle schools and was an equity, antiracism and anti-oppression coach for students from kindergarten through Grade 12 before joining the Centre of Black Excellence for Black Student Achievement last July as an equity co-ordinator. “Jay was driven by a passion to use education as a platform to make lasting impact. Inspired by his commitment to equity, he helped students achieve success despite daunting circumstances, and an education system and teaching methods that limited their ability to reach their full potential. “Jay inspired students and colleagues with his energy, authenticity, and belief that as we know better, we must become better. As a consultant, speaker, and author he advocated for policy changes within the education system that were essential for students to realise their goals,” noted his family. His colleagues and friends lauded his work. “He is loved. By being his authentic self, he made a difference in the lives of students, families, and staff for generations to come,” said Karen Murray, system superintendent at the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement at the TDSB. Lindsey Marshall, Acting Coordinator, Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement, said she had the honour “to be friends and work with a beautiful soul that touched the hearts and minds of everyone he came across. His authentic commitment to black student success and excellence was reflected in the way he lived and engaged in his work both in and out of the classroom. I know Jay’s impact and legacy will continue to shape the fabric of education for generations to come.” Abhi Arulanantham, principal of Edgewood Public School, said Williams was someone “whose mere presence made you pause, and when he spoke, you just knew that he was someone committed to doing what he could to make the world a better place for others, especially young black folks. “He and I spoke just a few days before he passed, and our conversation was about how difficult it is to carry the burden of doing equity work in a system that is not set up for racialised folks. This is how I will remember him – as someone who would completely put himself out there in a harsh world full of obstacles, just so that he could ensure that our students – our future – are better. Jay was special,” she said. Storyteller, author and managing director of Blackhurst Cultural Centre, ItahSadu, said Williams holds a special place in her heart. The co-owner of A Different Booklist said she had several opportunities to work with the dynamic educator and witness his progress. “In January, I danced with him and several educators at a “wind down Friday” at the Blackhurst Cultural Centre. It was joyous. I will always remember how he wrapped me up as an Auntie in the warmest embrace. Thanks to his mom and family for sharing this brilliant young man and gift with us,” she said. Williams attended Mother Teresa Catholic Secondary School and later earned bachelor degrees in Science in Public Health Education and Promotion, and education from Dalhousie University and Ontario Tech University, respectively. The viewing and visitation will be on Friday, March 15, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at McEachnie Funeral Home, 28 Old Kingston Road in Ajax, Ontario. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 16 at 10:45 a.m. at Apostolic Pentecostal Church, 1920 Notion Road in Pickering, Ontario. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Jay Williams Memorial Fund which was established by his family to honour his legacy: https://www.canadahelps. org/en/dn/m/99794 (https://www. canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/99794). “Your gift will continue the work Jay began, reaching students and those who teach and mentor them. Thank you for honouring Jay’s life with your generosity,” said his family. He was the only child for his mother and is survived by her, his father Ron Williams, and five siblings.
