NIBC hosted a luncheon at Western Maritime Institute on 07 December 2022. VTF Bursary certificates were presented to Jason Houston and Jacqueline Halliday with NPESC Capt Silvester bursary certificate presented to Jamie Prussin (see attached pics). There were approx 60 students from Nautical GSK, Chartwork, Basic Seamanship and MED Refreshers along with the school admin staff and instructors. It was fantastic to interact with all the students and promote membership and the benefits of NI and NIBC. We intend to continue this initiative and host lunches at BCIT in North Vancouver and Camosun College in Victoria. Please consider joining us for one of these future events. I would like to thank Capt Victor Gronmyr and Capt Norman Thomas for supporting this NIBC initiative today.
