What is the Create Your Canada Contest?
Create Your Canada is an opportunity for students in Don's riding to submit their ideas for a new federal law that would make Canada - or the world - a better place.
This is your chance to help guide Canada into the future you’d like to see.
By filling out the submission form, your idea will be entered in the contest.
We will select the best idea and draft it into an actual Private Member’s Bill (a real piece of federal legislation).
We will then fly the winner(s) to Ottawa to watch as Don formally introduces their bill in the House of Commons! Flights, food and accommodation will be paid for by Don.
You will also get a great tour of Parliament, including dinner in the Parliamentary restaurant with Don, a private visit to the Parliamentary Chamber, Sir John A. MacDonald’s first office, the Library of Parliament, and more. We might even be able to arrange a quick photo with the Prime Minister!
Best of luck and thank you for doing your part to create a better Canada for everyone!
