——————————————————————————————--

We bring together youth from across the province to build friendships, debate current issues, and explore their spirituality.

With legislation focused on youth issues debate at Ontario Youth Parliament is provoking, impassioned, and deeply supportive. Add spiritual reflection, two wild dances, and over a hundred awesome youth — and you've got a weekend that's unlike anything you've ever experienced.

Run almost entirely by youth with the support of adult mentors OYP has a rich legacy of action, leadership, and community. Each year, the event is organized by a newly selected Cabinet that strives to create the best experience possible. OYP is continually changing and growing while maintaining ties to hundreds of alumni across Canada.

WHO WE ARE →

The parliament is a means of having one great get-together. The fellowship amongst the members is really quite remarkable. Everything is done to make them feel right at home and one cannot but marvel at the stupendous piece of work being carried on.
— The Ottawa Citizen, 1927
