UNBC sent 10 teams to the 2023 JDC West Competition and won four awards
Known as the Olympic Games for business students in Western Canada, UNBC’s JDC West teams captured first place for most charity dollars raised, first place in marketing, third place in debate and UNBC graduate Ben Walls earned the Growing Legacy Award at this year’s JDC West Competition.
Both captains said it was a year of reviving the JDC West program at UNBC and had help from Patricia Miles and Ryan Tretick, two UNBC alumni who remained involved as team mentors. “We had a lot of work to do at the beginning of the year, drumming up interest, to convince students it would be a worthwhile event. It became an easy sell once students really understood the rewards to be gained from participating.”UNBC’s JDC West delegation raised $92,000 for the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation to support cardiac care in the north.“This year, I wanted to stay on and help Sam and Christian,” said Miles.
“Success at the competition proves it’s more about input and output, than the size of the school. You get out of it, what you put in.”
