About YPM

What is YPM?

Youth Parliament of Manitoba (YPM) is the longest consecutively-running youth parliament in Canada, having held sessions since 1922. We are a non-partisan, non-denominational, and incorporated registered charity.

Our mission is to foster amongst the youth of Manitoba an understanding of, interest in, and engagement with the Canadian democratic parliamentary process that would enable their active participation in society as responsible citizens. In so doing, YPM strives to encourage the growth of the individual and their abilities through their exposure to a diversity of ideas and perspectives and the fellowship of their peers.
