Canadians Can Now Apply To Be A Senator

The Canadian Senate is looking for you.

For the first time, Canadians can submit their own name to be a Senator.

A new advisory board has been established to review applications and recommend names to the Prime Minister.

The Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments has also established a website where you can apply for a Senate position.

The IABSA says preparing an application will take time so start early.

There are currently 19 positions to be filled including two in New Brunswick.

This new appointment process was created to reduce partisanship.

You can submit your application until midnight August 4th.
