peer-based interactions, role-playing, simulations and workplace learning
to ensure that learners develop and demonstrate the critical skills and
decision-making abilities they require for their roles in the community”

The fourth and current leader of the Institute is Jack McGee, who
followed Larry Goble as President. Assuming his office in 2000, he came to
the Institute from an exacting background. Among other distinctions, he was
an aircraft carrier-qualified combat airman with the rank of colonel. McGee
flew anti-submarine aircraft off Canada’s last flat-top, HMCS Bonaventure,
and was chosen to do pilot exchange cruises on U.S. Navy carriers. He has
flown a variety of aircraft all over the world, as well as commanding the VIP
Transport Squadron flying the Queen, Queen Mother and other members
of the Royal Family, Governors General, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau,
Admirals, Generals and other civilian and military dignitaries. He was base
commander of the Canadian Forces air base at Comox, B.C., and Director
of Air Studies at the Canadian Forces Staff College in Toronto.

In his civilian career, McGee was the Dean of Science and Tech-
nology at George Brown College in Toronto and then President of St. Clair
College in Windsor, Ontario. There he demonstrated his leadership and
fiscal management during a period of unprecedented cuts in provincial
funding. An innovator, he focused on staff development and educational
technology, opened an educational centre in the Republic of Panama and
initiated a foundation that attracted $15 million for scholarships, equip-
ment and a capital project to create a Centre for Excellence in Manufac-
turing.

Today, he sees the JIBC as “more than just an institution of learning;
it is a culture of responsibility. It is a place where cooperation, collabora-
tion, understanding and vision can be shared among organizations and
agencies, governments and individuals.” Its reputation has been earned by
the excellence and innovation of the faculty and staff. Equally, it has been

blessed by exceptional governance. While the Governors are listed in the = ing Vancouver Cemnus —— Canedian Sosces Medical
