Don’t miss the 2002-2003 House of Commons Page Programme
Deadline – Monday, December 3, 2001

House of Commons pages are selected from high schools and CEGEPs across Canada every year. They serve the House of Commons while beginning their studies at a university in the National Capital Region and collect friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. 

Pages play a key role in the communication network on Parliament Hill. Delivering important messages and research papers to Members, linking Members to their Hill offices and serving House officials in various capacities, House of Commons Pages are always on the go. 

Pages will be contracted to work at the House of Commons for one year beginning in late August 2002. They will work a minimum of 15 hours a week and their work schedule will be coordinated with their university schedule. 

A salary of $8,329 will be paid in 26 equal payments to Pages throughout their working year. In addition, a sum of $1,200 will be paid at the end of the employment period in August 2003. 

Each candidate must:

• be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
• be graduating from a secondary school (with academic interruptions) and beginning university studies in September 2002;
• have an overall academic average of at least 80%;
• have a superior knowledge of both official languages, as evaluated by the House of Commons; and 
• apply to a university in the National Capital Region, be accepted and accept the offer of admission. 

If you are interested in applying see your guidance counselor for further information about the Programme, its application process and job requirements. 

The deadline for application is Monday, December 3, 2001.
