Volunteer Registration

JDC West is the most prestigious undergraduate business competition in Western Canada, hosting 1,300 attendees and uniting over 600 delegates from twelve premier post-secondary institutions each year. Over the course of three days, university students from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba showcase their skills in the academic, athletic, debate, and challenge aspects of the competition. JDC West would not be possible without the support of over 200 volunteers and dozens of professional partners who bring this elaborate and multi-faceted competition to life.
