An Inspired Way to Teach Parliamentary Democracy

The 2023 program will take place at the Legislature from Sunday, November 5th to Tuesday, November 7th.
The Legislative Assembly Office will cover all accommodation and most meal expenses for the duration of the program. Accepted applicants will also be offered a subsidy of $250 to go towards supply teacher fees or travel expenses.
