Parliamentary Procedure Workshops
For Provincial Public Servants
The Parliamentary Procedure Workshop is intended to provide B.C. Public Servants with a greater understanding of our Parliamentary system. Presentations provide an overview to the history of Parliament, parliamentary procedure, the legislative and budgetary process in British Columbia, and Cabinet and Treasury Board decision-making.
B.C. Teachers' Institute on Parliamentary Democracy
Sponsored by the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, the annual British Columbia Teachers’ Institute on Parliamentary Democracy is an intensive four-day professional development opportunity for teachers of social studies and related subjects in elementary, middle, and secondary school. Participating teachers return to their schools with an enhanced understanding of parliamentary democracy and political process in B.C.
Parliamentary Tour Program
Guided tours provide a fun and informative introduction to the role of the Legislative Assembly, the history of the Parliament Buildings, and the provincial level of government.
Speaker in the Schools
The Speaker in the Schools program is offered in two formats: in-person and online. The 45 minute online program introduces students to the work of Speaker of the Legislative Assembly with a Q&A session with the Honourable Raj Chouhan. Classes receive an invitation to attend and are to send 3 prepared questions in advance and then the session is opened for more questions posed by the students directly to Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker also visits up to three constituencies per year, when his calendar permits. If interested in learning more, contact PEO@leg.bc.ca.
