JIBC Foundation celebrates year of giving
The Justice Institute of British Columbia Foundation reported on a successful year at its June Annual General Meeting (AGM), in which donor generosity saw over $600,000 received and more than $750,000 disbursed in support of justice and public safety education at JIBC.
Supporting education and student success
Donor’s gifts improve paramedic student training across BC
Two $100,000-donations have changed the way students in JIBC’s Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) and Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP) programs learn life-saving skills. The gifts, made by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, are the largest-ever received in cash for paramedic simulation training equipment at JIBC and have enhanced critical parts of paramedic student education.
