The Province is seeking student submissions for the 2026–27 Manitoba Student Advisory Council (SAC).
The SAC consists of 30 high school students from across Manitoba. Members serve a one-year term commencing in August 2026 and participate in virtual, after-hours consultations throughout the school year on current and emerging topics related to Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K to 12) education.
Their collective input is compiled in a final report provided to the Minster of Education and Early Childhood Learning at the end of the 2026–27 school year. Students are presented with a certificate of participation, and the Minister will meet with them to hear from them directly before the completion of their term.
The application period will be open until June 30, 2026, at midnight to allow students sufficient time to consider the opportunity.
