Where

The Youth Parliament of Canada's mission is to democratically represent Canada's youth to Parliament so that there is one strong youth voice advocating for positive change and to provide the experience youth need to become responsible parliamentarians.

The YPC is made up of 308 MYPs (Members of Youth Parliament), 105 Youth-Senators and a Youth-Governor General who represent Canada's 4 Million youth at a federal level to the Canadian Parliament and to the United Nations.

The YPC meets biannually in Ottawa, ON and monthly online. The MYPs discuss items that are currently in the Canadian Parliament, table issues of importance to them or their constituents, and discuss ways in which Canada can advance.
