House of Commons Pages

Don't miss the 2016-2017 House of Commons Page Program

The Page program provides young Canadians with the best seats in the country to listen to heated parliamentary debates of our nation and learn about Canadian politics first hand.

 

House of Commons Pages are selected from high schools across Canada every year.  The students work in the House of Commons while beginning their studies at a university.  Pages play a key role in the communication network, delivering important messages and documents to Members, linking Members to their Hill offices and serving House officials in various capacities.  

 

The 2016-17 Pages will be contracted to work at the House of Commons for one year, beginning in late August 2016.  They will work a minimum of 15 hours a week and their work schedule will be coordinated with their university schedule.

 

A salary of $14,789 will be paid in 26 equal payments, in addition a sum of $1,200 will be paid at the successful completion of the contract in August 2017.
