The programme is open to high school students between the ages of 14 and 19 who have an interest in our political process.
- There is a cost to participate in the Forum.
- Travel to and from Ottawa for all participants is covered.
- There are three five-day sessions scheduled for this school year: Feb 14-19, Feb 21-26 and March 6-11.
