by Pat Livingston
Evan Hickey, a Grade 8 student at
St. Joseph's School, Kingsbridge, is
another area youth who is mow
more knowledgeable about the
provincial legislative process. Evan,
who is the son of Jim and Teresa
Hickey, of R.R. 3, Auburn, recently
returned from a six-week stint as a
Legislative Page in Queen's Park,
Toronto.
Evan was quite surprised when
informed that he was, accepted as
one of 24 pages to serve during the
fall session.. His sister, Amanda,
was a page during the 1993 spring
session. Evan said, "1 didn't expect
two out of the same family would
ever be chosen." Both . he and
Amanda applied at the same time.
Evan was unable to pick one
particular aspect of the experience
as the best. He talked about the
great friends he made and said they
arc already corresponding with each
other and planning a reunion. It was
a lot of fun living with another
Page who resided in Mississauga,
taking the Go Train and subway to
Queen's. Park each day. He par-
ticularly enjoyed visiting the Hard
Rock Cafe, the CN Tower, and the
Spaghetti Factory.
Being a Page is not all fun. It is a
time of learning as well, with the
legislative process„ taught daily and
math and French tutoring compul-
sory.
It's a great experience for these
adults of tomorrow,• as they alter-
nate between answering phones in
the chamber office, running errands
for the MPPs, working in the
caucus rooms -and the press gallery.
Evan was a- little surprised at the
lack of numbers in the House
during debates and said of those
who were there, "I didn't think they
acted that way." One bill debated
was the Photo Radar Bill 47.
I-fe said Premier Bob Rae took a
lot of criticism after the federal
election because of Audrey
McLaughlin's poor showing.
When asked if his experience as a
Page had helped in making a career
decision, Evan replied, "I'll be a
farmer first and maybe some day
that will lead td a political position
involving agricultural."

recently from a six-week stint as a Legislative Page at Queen's
Park, Toronto. Evan is pictured with the Speaker of the House,
