Junior Achievement is changing in Southern Ontario.

JA London is joining with the South Western Ontario branch, which includes Chatham-Kent and Sarnia Lambton.

Regional Director Jenne Wason says the existing offices will remain open.

“We have worked together side by side for many years and it just came time to find efficiencies to strengthen the organization,” Wason explains. “We’ve been a very small but mighty team here in southwestern Ontario handling Chatham-Kent, Sarnia-Lambton, and Windsor-Essex. But joining the team in London District makes us stronger.”

Wason says any fundraising that’s community specific will stay in that community.

JA Worldwide celebrates 100 years this year.
