HOUSE OF COMMONS PAGE PROGRAM

Each year, we recruit 40 students graduating from high schools and CEGEPs from across Canada to participate in the House of Commons Page Program.
Students who maintain a minimum average of 80% and can speak both official languages are invited to apply.
To be selected, they must also be accepted in a full‑time program at a university in the National Capital Region.
Pages work directly on the floor of the House of Commons and are responsible for a wide range of tasks related to Chamber activities.
This provides them with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of Parliament by playing a role in the rich traditions of the Canadian parliamentary system.
The Page Program is committed to having a skilled, diversified workforce reflective of Canadian society and to ensuring the equitable representation of women, Indigenous Peoples and members of visible minority groups.
We encourage members of these designated groups to self-identify when they apply to the program.
