Junior Council is a family of first years, who work together, bond and are given the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the EUS!

Main Events
Back To School Apartment Crawl
The JC apartment crawl is the best of the year. Hosted the first weekend after school starts in September, you'll get the chance to spend the night with your friends (or sign up as a free agent!) and get led around the streets of the McGill ghetto by the world's finest tour guides (past JC members). Get introduced to the rowdiness of the EUS, learn our chants, and hear more about JC and why you should apply!! [1|left|thumb|Presenting Junior Council 2024-2025!!]]
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.
