Who can apply?

Every two years, letters are sent to all Principals of High schools in the Northwest Territories. They are asked to help select grade 9-10 students in their school by providing them with the application information or by referring them to this website. All applications are considered and one student from each riding is selected to represent his or her Member of the Legislative Assembly. Any student in the NWT in grade 9 or 10 can apply. All expenses are paid, and include; airfare, accommodation, meals, and any scheduled extra curricular activities. Additional money for shopping or free time will not be provided.

When is it?

The next Youth Parliament will be held in 2013. Stay tuned for more information!

Where will it be held?

All selected participants are put up at a local hotel with a chaperone, and two students per room. Males and females are seperated. Each morning the chaperone drives the students to the Legislative Assembly building where the activities and training take place. Transportation will be arranged for free time and attending other activities outside the building.
