Jamaican businessman and philanthropist Raymond Chang died in Canada on Sunday. Chang, who was conferred with the Order of Jamaica in 2011, was ailing for some time.
He went to Canada in 1967 to study engineering at the University of Toronto. He became chairman of CI Financial, one of Canada’s largest investment fund and publicly traded companies.
Chang was also a member of the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation and served on the Ryerson University Board of Governors.
Over the years, he became recognised for his outstanding contribution as a business leader and philanthropist in the financial, health, education and cultural sectors. He made numerous donations to his alma mater, St. George’s College, and provided jobs for a number of immigrants, many of them Jamaicans.
