Every year, between December
27th and 31st, 95 representatives of youth organizations from across
British Columbia gather at the Provincial Legislature in Victoria for the
annual session of BC Youth Parliament.
Members sit as independents — not representing any political party
and voting with their individual consciences on all issues. Members learn
about, and experience firsthand the parliamentary process, debate topics of
interest, and plan numerous activities for the upcoming year. After Session,
members put these activities and projects into action. Proposed activities are
presented in the form of government bills; once passed they're actually put
into effect!
Applications now being
accepted and must be received by October 29th.
To receive application form and info package, please see Ms.
Watson or Ms. Abad
