MEET OUR ALUMNI

The record of achievement built by PIP alumni in the public service, academe,
business, civil society, journalism and the legal profession is testament to the
important role that PIP plays in developing the potential of exceptional young
Canadians.

In 2017, a survey of PIP alumni addressed the question “Where are they now?”

At that time, 42% of alumni were working in the public sector both federally and
provincially – including as deputy ministers, directors, and policy advisors.
Two former interns had been elected to the House of Commons, two to the Quebec
National Assembly, and two more had been appointed to the Senate. One alumnus
was a former Chief Justice of a provincial court, while at least four others had
clerked at the Supreme Court of Canada.  Over one-third of those in the federal
public service had enjoyed careers in foreign affairs and international
relations – with a number serving as ambassadors, trade commissioners, and heads
of mission abroad.

Given the Programme’s scholarly focus, it should come as no surprise that 22% of
alumni were working in academia. Most were professors, post-doctoral fellows,
and PhD students at universities in Canada and abroad – including Harvard,
Princeton, Oxford, and the University of London. One was a former Rhodes
Scholar, another a former Commonwealth Scholar, and another the current
president of a public college. Others worked for think-tanks and research
institutes.

Of the 21% in the private sector, many alumni were working in government
relations as managers, consultants, and vice-presidents. One was the president
of a national industry association. A number of others had chosen to pursue
careers in the legal profession, practicing as lawyers at reputable firms across
Canada. Several were currently journalists for major media outlets.

The remaining 15% of alumni were working in the not-for-profit sector. This
included charities dedicated to international development, women’s rights, child
protection, and adult literacy. Two were executive directors of civil society
organizations striving to improve Canadian democracy.

The success of our former interns reflects the Programme’s value as an
investment in Canada’s future leaders.













PARLIAMENTARY INTERNSHIP ALUMNI ASSOCIATION (PIAA)

    to the Programme.

are also invited to join the PIAA LinkedIn Group and Facebook Group.





GETTING TOGETHER

PIAA organizes a range of activities for fellow alumni, former Parliamentarians,
Programme sponsors, and current interns: from luncheons with invited speakers to
informal receptions, pub nights, and other get-togethers. The Annual Alumni
Reception attracts MPs, Cabinet Ministers, business leaders, academics,
journalists, and alumni from across the country.





GIVING BACK

PIAA gives its members the opportunity to give back to the Programme and
recognize the life-shaping experience of being a Parliamentary Intern. The
association organizes an annual fundraising campaign to support the Programme
and help ensure current interns benefit from the same experience.

Please consider making a charitable donation to the Hales and Hurley
Parliamentary Foundation, whose sole goal is to support the Programme and
contribute to its long-term future. Donations are tax-deductible and can be made
via the foundation’s page on CanadaHelps.org.














HALES AND HURLEY PARLIAMENTARY FOUNDATION

The Hales and Hurley Parliamentary Foundation was inaugurated on May 9, 2017.

Launched by the Parliamentary Internship Alumni Association, the foundation’s
sole goal is to support the Parliamentary Internship Programme and contribute to
its long-term future.

It is named for the late Alfred Hales, MP, who inspired PIP’s founding in 1969,
and for James Ross Hurley, the first Director of the Programme from its
inception in 1969 to 1975 and a long-time friend of PIP.

The foundation is administered by the Ottawa Community Foundation, a registered
charity that is well-established and provides a guaranteed financial return. The
Hales and Hurley Parliamentary Foundation will become a mainstay of the
Programme in the years ahead.

 










RESEARCH PUBLISHED BY ALUMNI

As part of the academic component of the Programme, interns complete an original
research paper on an aspect of Parliament or Canadian politics. Many alumni go
on to publish academic articles based on their research paper or internship
experience.

Below are examples of recent articles published by alumni:

 * Snagovsky, Feodor and Matthew Kerby. 2018. “Political Staff and the Gendered
   Division of Political Labour in Canada.” Parliamentary Affairs, gsy032, doi:
   10.1093/pa/gsy032.
 * Dance, Anne. 2015. “The Evolution of Parliamentary Privilege and Security on
   Canada’s Parliament Hill.” Journal of Parliamentary and Political Law 9 (3):
   457-470.
 * Hardy, Vincent. 2015. “Evaluation and Utilization of Policy Information in
   the Canadian Parliament: The Influence of External Policy Actors.” Canadian
   Political Science Review 9 (3): 99-130.

The alumni association has compiled a list of research published by alumni over
the years – including in academic journals, edited books, and newspapers. If you
an alumnus who has published research not included on the attached list, please
send details to alumni-anciens@pip-psp.org.
