SK Youth Parliament May Mini Session in Kindersley Prorogued

The SK Youth Parliament May Mini Session in Kindersley prorogued their session today at KCS. The Youth Parliament will resume in November in the Provincial Legislature in Regina.

I was very pleased to hear how positive the group was about Kindersley. They liked the community spirit, the participation of local youth, and the support of the businesses for their cause.

Four youths from Kindersley and West Central Saskatchewan participated including my oldest son.
Sydney, John, Myles (Premier - not from here), Joe Tasha, Sheldon, Emma. May 31, 2015
As Lieutenant Governor I nodded my assent for bills and resolutions. It was awkward with all the bowing and nodding that was happening. I must say, the Lieutenant Governor doesn't say a whole lot.
Joe, the Speaker, asking for permission. May 31, 2015.
Myles, the Clerk, asking for assent of the bill. May 31, 2015.
It was a good experience for everyone I spoke with at the Youth Parliament. I met students from Shaunavon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Alsask, Prince Albert and more.

Parliament was concluded with the singing of the national anthem; after I left as Lieutenant Governor.

This is a terrific program run by young people for young people. If you are interested, or think your son or daughter would benefit, contact them through facebook.
