Ice Cream Social

Free Frostbite ice cream is given out to introduce first year students to the members of JC and get to know what JC does! This is a social you do not want to miss.

Therapy Dogs

At the end of each semester, JC hosts a chill event where we have tea, snacks, and most importantly, therapy dogs! This event is meant to help students destress before exams start and is always a wholesome time.

Networking Conference

First year students often have a tough time learning to network and start pursuing a career. That's why every year, JC hosts a networking conference with talks from alumni, industry professionals, and experts from the Engineering Career Centre.

Power Hour

Power Hour is an event that consists of participants drinking a shot of their drink every minute for one hour. It's an iconic JC event that you don't want to miss, with a super-fun theme every semester! All engineers and friendgineers are welcome!

Other Events

In the past, Junior Council has hosted a wide variety of events including first year banquet, Bob Ross paint night, beverage pong tournaments, pumpkin carving and our iconic cactus sale.
