Our History
The foresight to think big.
The vision to make it happen.
As a family-owned business, JDass Corp embodies the Canadian dream. We have been committed to excellence, superior service, and sustainable, yet ambitious, growth since day one. This passion continues to the present day, where a second generation has taken the helm and our portfolio of brands has expanded into multiple industries that serve clients across Canada. Explore a timeline of our journey below.

In just two short years, Teletime will expand to five locations throughout the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Building upon their success, the Dass family, led by patriarch Jay Dass, begins making savvy investments in Toronto real estate.
