Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Time: 10:00 am sharp!

Place: Legislative Building Downtown Fredericton
Meet in the Front Entrance

The tour will take approximately one hour, and we will leave for lunch at 11:30. We are currently looking for a church gym that is close where we can eat our lunch. We return to the Legislature at 12:45 to be in the chamber for 1:00 sharp. NB is one of the last provinces to still open each day with prayer, and the doors to the visitors' gallery are locked at 1:00 pm until the prayers are completed. Debate will be approximately one hour followed by 30 minute question period. After 3:00 people can visit with their own MLA or pose for group photo's with the Premier or leader of the opposition, cabinet members, etc.

People must pre-register with HENB. The legislature staff needs to know how many people are coming to determine the number of guides needed. Any students or parents with special needs should inform us in advance so that reasonable accommodations can be made. To register fill in the form below. Ror more information please email events@henb.org and put in the subject line "Legislature Day."

There is a very helpful Parliament of Canada Teachers Kit. It is a large folder filled with books and pamphlets about the House and Senate and how they work. It is not a New Brunswick kit per se, however it would still be helpful. Copies may be ordered direct from this page: http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/comments.asp?Language=E&Parl=38&Ses=1.

Those who wish to use the occasion of our visit to Fredericton as part of a broader unit study should find all of the information they need at this site: http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/education/default.htm
