Debate in Canada
While the Canadian Student Debating Federation (CSDF) oversees the National Team Tryouts, the Annual National Seminar, and funding for provinces to develop debate, there is a different group that oversees our national competitions. This group is the Canadian National Debating Championships (CNDC). Governed by a group of governors, elected each year at the Senior High National Championships, they are there to support the convenor for the following year’s national championships.
The 2022-2023 Governing Board are:
- Jason Hong – AB – Convenor 2023 SHNC
- Chris George – QC
- John Robinson – ON
- Jonathan Bracewell – QC – Convenor BP Nationals
- Brent Schmidt – ON
- Graeme Barrington – MB
- Joshua Judah – NS
