What is Youth Parliament?

It is an opportunity for grade 9 & 10 students in the Northwest Territories to assume the role of an MLA at the Legislative Assembly in Yellowknife.  This will include researching community concerns, meeting with your MLA to discuss issues, writing a Member's or Minister's statement, thinking about and writing questions for Question Period, learning the process of making a bill into a law, and having lots of fun! Each student will have transportation, meals and accommodation provided.
