Last year, the CSDF National Seminar was held March 9-14, 2011 (including travel dates) in Hay River, NWT.

Visit www.csdf-fcde.ca for complete details.

Each year the Canadian Student Debating Federation holds the National Debating Seminar, an event which aims to expose students to the art of debating while providing an opportunity for cultural exchange between young people from all regions of the country. Over the course of a week-long event, delegates attend workshops, are paired with other students for various styles of debate, perform public speeches, sit as members in model parliament and experience a variety of events related to the specific cultural identity of the host province.

The C.S.D.F. embraces both of Canada's official languages, offering students the opportunity to attend the Seminar as English, French or Bilingual delegates. The only bilingual speaking event in Canada, this component of the Seminar involves delegates switching from one language to another during their speeches and debates in true recognition of Canada's bilingual nature.

 

This year SEDA is pleased to announce that the Saskatchewan delegates for the National Seminar at Hay River were:

Shinae H., French delegate
Leilani R.-W., Bilingual delegate
Julia P., English delegate
Kehan F., English delegate
Amber D., English delegate

 

We wish them all the best of luck at the seminar.
