Summer
Greetings,
As JABC gears up
for the new school year, we are thrilled to share
what we have been up to this summer. It has been
an exciting few months to say the least! In
June we "Celebrated JA" across the
province with numerous events focused
on thanking our dedicated volunteers,
donors and educators. We also presented
a number of awards and scholarships to
students who exhibited great skill, initiative and
productivity this past year. One of those
recipients, Simon Hartwell, will represent BC
at Junior Achievement of Canada's International
Conference (CANJAC) in August. In early
September I encourage you to look for JABC's new
Advertising Campaign in publications such as
BCBusiness Magazine, The Business Examiner and
Douglas Magazine. Until then enjoy this month's
newsletter and have a safe and relaxing
summer.
All the best,
Jan
