Youth Parliament of Manitoba
Encyclopedia
Established in 1922, Youth Parliament of Manitoba (YPM) is a non-partisan, non-denominational, non-profit organization that educates youth in effective public speaking and the parliamentary process. It is open to all youth in the Canadian
province of Manitoba
who will be between 16 and 20 years old as of December 31 of the year of the upcoming Winter Session. Session takes place each year from 26 - 30 December at the Manitoba Legislature in the capital city of Winnipeg.
and bases its organizational structure and nomenclature on the Westminster Parliamentary system
. YPM has three primary, organizational groups: the Board of Directors (also known as the Parliamentary Executive), the Cabinet, and the backbenchers. (The backbenchers and the Cabinet are also collectively termed Members-at-Large.) As well, Senators and an Honorary President can be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time.
Elections take place annually on December 30 at the Manitoba Legislature during the Winter Session.
Current Cabinet portfolios include:
Upper Cabinet
Lower Cabinet
and followed by British Columbia Youth Parliament
and Saskatchewan Youth Parliament
. Its goal at the time was to develop leadership and awareness of the parliamentary system in young men.
At the time, youth parliament was just one of the activities started by the TUXIS
youth movement. This organization, set up by the Canadian Protestant community, was designed to encourage social, academic, religious and physical activity among young men and was based on the biblical passage Luke 2:52, which states "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and with people."
By 1971, Manitoba's youth parliament (by this time called the TUXIS and Older Boys Parliament) was made completely non-denominational. The Oath of Allegiance and legislation was thus no longer written solely for specific religious groups.
On December 28, 1972, a special meeting was called to admit women as full members into the organization and change the name to Youth Parliament of Manitoba. Previously, women could only be admitted as associate members and could not vote on legislation. Seven years later, Ann Thompson became the first female Premier of YPM and, one year later, the first female Speaker.
YPM has also hosted the second, sixth, tenth, and fourteenth sessions of Western Canada Youth Parliament
