Western Canada Youth Parliament

It would be over twenty years before the next proposal for a western Canadian youth parliament occurred.

[10] It was also designed to be an inter-provincial event to fill the gap between sessions of the now defunct Youth Parliament of Canada/Parlement jeunesse du Canada, which at that time was only held bi-annually.

[2] The Saskatchewan Youth Parliament took its turn hosting the May 1989 session in the provincial Legislative Building in Regina.

The rotation of Westerns has since cycled bi-annually between the four provinces[5][6][2][11] in its original sequence, except for the seventh session, which came after a two-year hiatus.

The CYP was to be an English-language only event,[4] not to be confused with the defunct Youth Parliament of Canada.
