Together, We Thrive
We are a democratic, student-led organization formed in 2019.

We believe that students are stronger together, and by uniting our voices we can create meaningful change, celebrate diversity, and ensure that every student feels supported during their time at JIBC.
Whether you’re here to connect with peers, access resources, or get involved in creating positive change, we are here to support you every step of the way.About Us
