Our Vision.....

The dream and purpose of Junior Chamber are most clearly expressed in the words of founder Henry "Hy" Giessenbier who said:

"From within the walls of the soul of this organization, wherein the foundation of

character and citizenship are laid, I hope a message will come forth in the sometime

of tomorrow that will stir the people toward the establishment of a permanent

and everlasting world peace."

Giessenbier had the foresight to believe that character and citizenship could contribute toward a permanent world peace. His dream and purpose for Junior Chamber were to offer the membership opportunities that would build strong, positive character and a sense of citizenship, not only for communities, cities and countries, but for the world.

Our Mission .....

The mission of Junior Chamber International Canada is to contribute to the advancement of Canada by providing the opportunity for young Canadians to develop the leadership skills, social responsibility, entrepreneurship and fellowship necessary to create positive change in our country.
