Each year, fifteen
university students from across Canada are
selected to participate in the Senate Page
Program. The Senate Pages are responsible for a
wide variety of activities associated with the
legislative process. Moreover, they are given a
direct opportunity to further their knowledge of
parliamentary affairs by exposure to the rich
tradition of Canada's Parliamentary system and
the Senate of Canada.
Senate Pages are enrolled as full-time
undergraduate students in one of the four
universities in the National Capital Region. They
are hired on a one-year contract with the
possibility of renewal for a second year. Pages
also have the opportunity of remaining for a
third year if chosen as Chief or Deputy Chief
Page.
The Senate Page Program provides a diverse and
talented group of students the grand opportunity
to enhance their understanding of the Senate of
Canada. Under the direction of the Usher of the
Black Rod, these leaders of tomorrow are given a
remarkable opportunity to be leaders of
today.
