Would you like a frst-hand opportunity to meet with a Member of Parliament and find out what it’s like to be a politician in Canada?

If yes, then this new initiative is for you!

The program is open to all upper-level Undergraduate (enrolled in your 3rd year or higher & with a GPA of 3.0 or higher) OR Masters-level students registered in a Faculty of Arts program, and who identify as female. The program is non-partisan, and students from all backgrounds, including racialized minorities, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ students are encouraged to apply. No previous political experience is required -- all you need is a curiosity about and a passion for Canadian politics!
