UWinnipeg JDC West (Team Winnie)

The UWinnipeg JDC West (also known as Team Winnie) is a registered nonprofit, student-led organization that competes in the prestigious JDC West competition in January every year. Team Winnie strives to ensure business and economics students are ready to compete in four different fields: Academics, Athletics, Debate and Challenge. Participating in the competition gives students opportunities to meet others in the same fields across other participating Western Canadian schools and provides opportunities to engage with the faculty and the students they see every day outside of the classroom. Team Winnie also hosts events in partnership with different charity organizations to raise funds for a good cause as part of competition requirements! All students are welcome to participate in the events unless noted otherwise.

Membership: Members of Team Winnie are hired through the tryout process during the recruitment phase. Applications for VP positions and Delegate positions are posted on Team Winnie’s Instagram page, and open prior to the semester start. All students are welcome to participate in events and opportunities put on by Team Winnie unless otherwise descripted. Attending our events is a great way to learn about JDC West, and get involved for the future!

Meetings: Meetings will occur primarily on Saturdays using our own spaces or classrooms in the Buhler Centre or the JDC Office in the Buhler centre. We will also need to use the gym on select Saturdays for training. On October 1, October 29, November 12, December 3, and January 7, we will be having mock competitions and will need to use classrooms – at least five classrooms with 60 seating capacity and five classrooms with a minimum of 15 seating capacity.
