Admission
Current students enrolled in any postsecondary institution are eligible to apply for admission into the Page Program. Intake occurs year-round and the Page Program begins each September. Each year, Pages are hired from a pool of qualified candidates to complete the Page team, which includes the Head Page, who is a senior Page responsible for coordinating procedural and scheduling aspects of the Page Program.
Candidates’ competencies will first be assessed through an online application consisting of four documents: an application form, a cover letter, a résumé, and your postsecondary schedule and/or availability. Selected candidates will then undergo an interview and reference checks. The final selection of Pages is typically completed by September each year.
The Page Program is dedicated to ensuring students’ academic success and supporting their work-life balance. For this reason, potential candidates should ensure that their course schedule allows them to work 10-15 hours per week during the ordinary sitting hours of the House, which are:
- Tuesday 1.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m.
