About

• Company Description
• The House of Commons Administration delivers outstanding services to Members of Parliament and their employees in support of parliamentary democracy. Our success is made possible by our talented and dedicated workforce. We leverage diversity in all its forms and recognize that everyone has valuable contributions to make and the potential for individual growth. If you dream of joining an organization that is small enough for you to be noticed, but big enough to provide you with a meaningful career, then we want to hear from you!
• Job Description
• The House of Commons' Procedural Services is currently looking to staff the House of Commons Page position for the 2026-2027 academic year.
• Professional, impartial, and efficient service is a hallmark of the House of Commons Page Program. Each year, 40 students are selected from across Canada to participate in the Page Program. Pages are first-year students registered at one of the eligible post-secondary institutions in the National Capital Region.
• As a Page, you will work on a part-time basis in the House of Commons Chamber under the direction of a group of supervisors and a coordinator. You will work under pressure in a fast-paced environment where you will showcase your strong time management, communication, and interpersonal skills, as well as a sense of team spirit. Possessing general knowledge of the Canadian parliamentary system would be beneficial but not mandatory.
• You will support parliamentary proceedings by providing various services to Members of Parliament, the Speaker and Chair occupants, and Table Officers. For example, you will collect and distribute official documents, deliver messages to Members, serve as a link between Members and their Hill offices, respond to requests from Members and staff, and answer telephone calls. On occasion, you will also meet with youth groups to speak about your duties as a Page and your experience working on Parliament Hill.
• The Page Program is dedicated to ensuring your academic success and supporting your work–life balance. For this reason, we encourage you to consult our FAQ section, as not all post-secondary programs of study have a course schedule that aligns with the work schedule of a Page.
• Provincial and territorial representation will also be considered during the recruitment and selection process for the Page Program.
• Top Reasons to Join the Page Program
• Joining the Page Program will provide you with an incredible work experience, which will broaden your knowledge of the rich traditions of the Canadian parliamentary system.
• Your time as a Page will be shared with 39 other students from across the country. For many, these friendships last a lifetime, and the opportunity to exchange ideas with students from a variety of backgrounds enrich the educational component of the Program.
• Work at the heart of democracy and experience debates live in the Chamber;
• Assist with ceremonial and protocol events;
• Hours that accommodate your class schedule;
• An attractive salary: Under the terms of their contract, Pages are paid $18,740 (under review) annually. In addition, a sum of $1,200 is paid at the end of the employment period for successful completion of the contract;
• Subject to certain conditions, the program will reimburse your travel expenses from a location in Canada outside the National Capital Region (usually your place of residence) to Ottawa at the beginning of your one-year contract, as well as from Ottawa to that location (or another location in Canada) at the end of your contract;
• Perfect your second language (English or French): Pages have access to second language training;
• Training and development opportunities;
• Resources to promote well-being.
