What a weekend for JCI Kootenay!

Our members spent May 29-31 at the JCI BC/Yukon Regional Conference at Blue Lake Camp, connecting with members from across Western Canada and beyond while developing leadership skills, building friendships, and celebrating achievements.

We're proud to share that JCI Kootenay was nominated for five regional awards and brought home three:

🏆 Chapter of the Year
🏆 Member of the Year – Daniel Crema
🏆 Project of the Year – 30 Under 30

Congratulations as well to Shane Nickel-Thibodeau, who won the BC/Yukon Effective Speaking Competition and will represent our chapter and region at the JCI Canada National Convention in Montreal this September.

These awards belong to every member who volunteers their time, shares their talents, supports our projects, and believes in creating positive change in our community.

Thank you to our members, partners, sponsors, and supporters for helping make this possible. We are excited to keep building momentum and serving the East Kootenay.

Buttons!

Our chapter met this past weekend to gather, celebrate good company, and do some last-minute Regionals prep. You'll notice Chance can be found at his usual hideout, the kids table 😆.

Looking forward to seeing 30+ members from across Western Canada, plus some esteemed guests, at Blue Lake Camp this weekend for the 2026 Regional conference!
