Jamaican Canadians worry about family back home in wake of Hurricane Melissa

October 29, 2025

Phiona Durrant and her son sat by the phone Wednesday afternoon at her home in Aurora, Ont., waiting for an update from Adrian, her husband, in Jamaica.

It had been 24 hours since she last heard from him. He had travelled to the country last week for a family funeral. Ms. Durrant had repeatedly called and texted him since Hurricane Melissa hit the Caribbean island on Tuesday, but those attempts had gone unanswered.
