This interactive group activity leads students through the provincial electoral process while reviewing parliamentary procedure at the provincial level. Students work in teams to support their “candidates” in an electoral race.
The program is offered in a specially designed classroom in the Legislature pedway and is most effective when completed in conjunction with a guided tour of the Legislature Building.
Teachers may also opt to do this activity in the classrooms. A classroom-based version of the activity is available in pdf format.
