That is why the Churchill Society has established the Winston Churchill Scholarships to be awarded to four participants of the Forum for Young Canadians - Canada's premier civics organization for the next generation. The Forum for Young Canadians is a programme about Canadian government and our governmental institutions. Established in 1975, Forum is operated by the not-for-profit Foundation for the Study of the Processes of Government in Canada. The bilingual and strictly non-partisan programme brings a total of 600 students (aged 16-19 years) from across Canada to Ottawa in four separate sessions each spring where they spend a week on Parliament Hill to experience first‑hand how Canadian government works and the values it promotes.
