Administrative 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.
Custodial history
Records in the fonds were likely transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986. Their original provenance is unclear, though some may have come from members or associated individuals.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of publications and other records relating to the Older Boys' Parliament, which would later be known as the Saskatchewan Youth Parliament (after 1972). Contents include: photographs (1945-1948), newspaper clippings and proclamations; records and legislation (1923-1964); and copies of "The Parliamentarian" (1961-1964), the journal of Saskatchewan Tuxis and Older Boys' Parliament.
