Did you know students can work in the House of Commons? Every year, 40 students from across Canada are selected to become Pages in the House of Commons. A Page is someone who works in the legislature as a messenger. Some other duties of a Page include collecting and distributing important documents, and speaking to visiting students about their job.
To become a Page, a person must:
• be a Canadian citizen
• plan to attend full-time university in Ottawa or Hull in September that year
