British Youth Parliament - Annual Session (Dec 27)

 

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

 

For more information, contact Dora Turje registrar@bcyp.org  or visit:  http://www.bcyp.org/joinus.html
