History
Initially the Tuxis and Older Boys' Parliament, the first regional youth parliament was held in Saskatchewan, 1912. The TUXIS program (Training Under Christ in Service) supported boys parliament programs in various parts of Canada, as part of a movement to develop (protestant) Christian leadership ability in young men, through an "awareness of social and parliamentary issues" (Wilson, p.17). By the mid-1960s, most Youth Parliaments had dropped their connection to Tuxis and were identified as "Older Boys' Parliaments" instead. The first national gathering of Youth Parliaments was held in 1967, in Calgary.
