Kelowna Jaycees welcome new member Brett Wilson with funny, short video

KELOWNA – A local group of young professionals have put together a clever video to welcome a Dragon into their organization.

The Kelowna Jaycees have made W. Brett Wilson — a Kelowna businessperson, investor and a former star of the reality TV show Dragon’s Den — an honorary member. And to mark the occasion they put together a short video that was released to YouTube this week.

The Kelowna Jaycees are a group of young professionals between 18 and 40 who gather together for networking and to help raise money and support for local charities and organizations.

The two minute video features half a dozen members comically debating whether or not to allow Wilson into their club.

They video references the recent decision to allow women into the club for the first time since the group was founded in 1935.
