Join us at the Royal Woodbine Golf Club for a day of fun on the greens for a great cause. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this event is perfect for golfers of all skill levels. Get ready to tee off and enjoy a day filled with friendly competition, delicious food, and fantastic prizes. Speech & Debate Canada Foundation was started in 2017 to continue the passionate work of helping young people. Our benefactor, Mr. Willis McLeese, wanted to ensure that students within Canada would learn communication and leadership skills. He wanted to ensure that no Canadian student, regardless of where they lived or attended school should ever be deprived of the opportunity to learn educational debate. Today, we continue his legacy across Canada working with various groups, schools and communities to ensure that no child is left behind. Our future as a country and our own democracy is constantly being challenged, we need to ensure that the youth of today are armed with the tools necessary to defend our future in this world. Debate skills taught at an early age will establish a better democratic future for everyone. We need your help to continue this vitally important work for Canada’s children and our future!

S&DCF would like to express a sincere thank you to the Hart House Debate Club for supporting us with a workshop last night. A well thought out presentation was provided for students and coaches in attendance. The students even got to give a try at one round of British Parliamentary Debate and received feedback from HHDC debaters who judged the round. It is through support like this that we are able to expand our reach leaving no Canadian youth behind. Can hardly wait to do the next one - check out our website under Upcoming Events or more information! #debate #leadership #youth

New debate tournament organizers are always looking for material to use when hosting an event. At S&DCF our amazing instructors are in the process of putting together a library of footage that can be used to make starting and running a debate club more accessible to all youth. We have started with the Canadian National Debate Judges Briefing.

🎉 Today is International Legacy Giving Day - ever wonder where Canada falls when it comes to legacy giving? Right now there are about 22 countries around the world that run national legacy campaigns encouraging donors to give to charity in their Will. In Canada, we have a long history of doing this - from the Leave a Legacy program to the current Will Power campaign. So it comes as no surprise that we have the 3rd largest population of bequest donors. I feel lucky to be doing what I do, and witnessing the growth of a new giving behaviour in Canada...and across the world. It's so damn exciting! 😁
