Introduction to YPM // Image: 87th Parliament, Spring Session, to take place at Brandon University from 09-11 May 2008Introduction to YPM

Welcome to the website of Youth Parliament of Manitoba (YPM). We are one of the oldest model parliament organizations in the world and have held parliamentary sessions continuously since 1922.

Throughout our 87-year history, we have seen some of the most influential people in the province — and the country — pass through our ranks. Community leaders like Lloyd Axworthy, Howard Pawley, Bill Blaikie, Darren Praznik and Bill Norrie were all members of YPM.

Our premiere event occurs each December at the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. All Manitoban youth are invited to sit as Members of Parliament in the legislative chamber, where they will debate and interact with other young people from across the province. As a member, you will have the chance to learn and debate current political issues and make contacts and friends that will last a lifetime.
