JBDC Update • Projects from the JBDC this year included: • School Presentation templates • JB Board Contract template • Gamebook updates The committee was headed by Brittany Bernard and included: Sarah Sauve (Halifax), Patrick Morin (Saskatoon) and Matt Hammer (Calgary)
JBDC Update • The committee was met with challenges as communication stalled with local Junior Branches and JB Chairs. • Lack of chapter input made it difficult for the committee to focus their efforts on specific challenges chapter were facing. • The committee also lost several members over the course of the year, often with little notice or follow up.
The Comm Team had a successful year that saw the publication of three bilingual Canuck newsletters and a good working relationship between Julia and Caitlyn. Like the JBDC, they were often frustrated by the difficulty of communication with JB chair and local juniors. Some chapters contributed on time for Canucks and were prompt in email responses while others were almost silent the whole year. Communications Team Update
