The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) Police Academy unveiled new Indigenous artwork on its fleet of training vehicles recently, a visual representation of the Institute and academy’s commitment to Indigenization.

xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) artist Kamryn Sparrow was commissioned to create the artwork as part of JIBC’s strategic plan commitment to living Indigenous ways of thinking, being, relating and doing. A key strategy of this commitment is to ensure campuses include high-visibility art and items symbolizing our commitment to Indigenous education.

The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) was pleased to welcome participants to its Indigenous Youth Career Camp (IYCC) at its campuses last week, July 18 to 22, where they gained an introduction to public safety career options. This is the first fully in-person IYCC since the pandemic began more than two years ago.
