Alistair MacGregor, MP (Cowichan-Malahat-Langford) has announced the “Create Your Canada” contest for 2020.
The contest gives students in Grades 11 and 12 in his South Vancouver Island riding the opportunity to win a trip to Ottawa by submitting their ideas on how to make Canada a better place. The winning student(s) will have the opportunity to watch MP Alistair MacGregor present their idea to the House of Commons as a Private Member’s Bill.
“I am very excited to give students in my riding the opportunity to learn about and participate in the legislative process firsthand,” stated MacGregor.
“The young people of this country are our future, and I want to encourage them to get involved and think about how we can create a better Canada.”
Resources for teachers are posted online.
The deadline for submissions to “Create your Canada” is March 31, 2020. Students may enter individually or in groups of two.
