Deadline for MLA for a day applications quickly approaching

Mar 13, 2018 | 6:38 AM

One local high school student could have the chance to receive hands-on experience with local government as the MLA for a day application deadline quickly approaches. 

The program is open to students enrolled in grades 10 to 12 in Alberta. Home school students are also eligible to apply and each year the program accepts 87 participants.

Students in the program will spend three days in Edmonton visiting the Alberta Legislature, listening to speakers and will get the chance to sit in on a debate at the Assembly Chamber.

Fees for travel, meals and accommodations are covered for the event.
