CANADA: An organization which brings students from all parts of Canada to Ottawa each year to discover how government works announced last week that Kiran Kaur Bhinder of Heritage College will be one of some 500 students participating in the 1994 program.
Students selected for the Forum program take part in a number of interesting activities in the Nation’s Capital including actually sitting in the Commons and Senate chambers talking to parliamentarians and senior public servants and visits to Government House and the Supreme Court of Canada. They will also participate in a mock Cabinet discussion of immigration policy and take part in a staged debate on federal-provincial relations.
By the end of the week-long program the students will have learned a great deal about the challenges and complexities in the wiry their government operates. As well and equally important they will have acquired a better understanding of their fellow Canadians from across the land
Students rely on the support of local organizations to assist in paying their fees for the program and to help with travel costs not covered by a grant from the Secretary of State.
