Jalloo[jah-lu]: noun; from the Manx Gaelic Dictionary picture, figure, bust, sculpture, idol, drawing, effigy, alterpiece, image, carving, icon, painting, or statue.
To connect NBCC Miramichi students in related programs to the Animation and Game industry of the region what had been a simple job fair grew into a larger industry event. Credit goes to Heather Fowler, Gail (Langdon) Rabbits de Montbrun, and Kevin Gallant for pulling together the first Jalloo in 2008 and sticking with it ever since.
