Applications for the virtual Model Senate on January 29, 2021, are now open!

 

What is the virtual Model Senate? 
The virtual Model Senate is a unique and fun opportunity to become a member of Canada’s Upper Chamber for a day. It is designed for civic-minded university and college students who are interested in learning how Parliament works and how senators do their job.  

 

How will the virtual Model Senate work?
This will be a half-day event, hosted fully online. Model senators are students from across Canada who get to study and debate topics they care about in a virtual committee meeting and/or a Senate sitting.

 

What will I get out of the virtual Model Senate?
By taking on the role of a senator, you will get a taste of the exciting and important work that senators do and learn first-hand about the Senate’s role in Parliament. You will also get to meet and learn from sitting senators and other officials who support them. 

 

Interested? Apply before November 29, 2020.
