Take your students to visit the heart of Canadian democracy. Parliament welcomes school groups for guided tours of the Centre Block (reservations required).

Canada’s Parliament is a vibrant example of democracy in action. In Parliament, our representatives examine the top issues of the day, decide on policies and enact laws and hold the government to account for its actions.

The Parliament of Canada offers numerous resources and programs for students to learn about Canada’s democratic process both in the classroom and while visiting the nation’s capital. The curriculum-based tours for students in grades K-6 are designed to introduce students to Canada’s Parliament using props and role play. All tours can be tailored to reflect the grade level and knowledge of visiting students.
