Political Organization - Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Hamilton division of Model City Hall, a youth-led Canadian non-profit organization aimed at making municipal politics accessible to high school students. Model City Hall runs an annual conference at City Hall that aims to stimulate civic engagement amongst high school students. Students from all over Toronto choose a committee, where they simulate council chamber debates and collaborate to create documents that provide solutions to key municipal issues. The issues discussed and resolved correspond with recent debate items in City Hall. Councillors, Trustees and Non-profit agents (such as Youth For Human Rights Toronto) are invited to participate in our collaborative committees, where they hear what Toronto youth have to say, thus creating positive dialogue between the decision makers of today and tomorrow.
