Parliamentary Programs
The Legislative Assembly offers several programs designed to provide first-hand experience of the parliamentary process. Each program is targeted at a specific group.
Saskatchewan Teachers' Institute on Parliamentary Democracy (SSTI) is a professional development opportunity open to all Saskatchewan educators. Teachers are guided through an insider’s view of government and the legislative process.
Speaker's Outreach Program is a non-partisan approach to enhancing students' awareness and understanding of the democratic process in Saskatchewan. Students will have the unique opportunity to explore parliamentary democracy with the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and participate in a model parliament activity.
Parliamentary Program for the Public Service (PPPS) is a popular full-day program for employees of the Saskatchewan public service. Facilitated by the Legislative Assembly Service’s Parliamentary Education team, the program is an opportunity to learn about how democracy works by meeting the people who support the Assembly. All Saskatchewan public service employees, whether management, professional, or support staff are welcome to participate.
PPPS is offered at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building several times a year when the Legislative Assembly is in not session. The day begins with an extensive tour of the Legislative Building and an overview of our system of government. Throughout the day, participants receive presentations from Executive Council, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, and Legislative Assembly Service representatives including the Legislative Library, Law Clerk & Parliamentary Counsel, Hansard, and Procedural Services.
Many participants report that this program gives them a better understanding of how their own work fits into the legislative process.
Program spots are limited, and registration is completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
