SPEECH AND DEBATE CANADA FOUNDATION

Speech and Debate Canada Foundation runs speech and debate programs that teach public speaking, critical thinking, and argumentation skills to high school students across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation organizes competitive debate tournaments, provides coaching and training, and offers scholarships to help youth develop confidence in communication and leadership. By participating in structured debate competitions and speech events, students learn to research topics thoroughly, construct logical arguments, and engage respectfully with opposing viewpoints. The foundation works to make these programs accessible to students from all backgrounds, believing that debate skills prepare young people for success in post-secondary education and their careers.
