To
commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation, the Speakers of
the Senate and the House of Commons have launched a speech writing competition
for Canadians aged 12 to 17. This national contest asks, “What does Parliament
mean to you?” Young Canadians are invited to participate by submitting a
written speech via our contest webpage.
Six finalists will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Ottawa in June 2017, where they will be recognized at a reception at Parliament and have an opportunity to meet with the Speakers.
The
contest closes April 21, 2017.
