This program, designed to develop our future leaders, addresses the
critical community need for competent representation by providing the
opportunity for our youth to develop public speaking, communication
and interpersonal skills, as well as the confidence and knowledge base
to participate in discussions on issues facing Canadian.
To further our interest in encouraging unity and strength within different communities through educational programs, we are developing and hosting a speech competition for students from multi- faith Schools across Ontario. Our event was established in 2002 and has already seen five successful years.
This year over 100 multi faith schools have been invited to nominate a student as their representative. Our event serves as a forum for students to present their unique views to a supportive and educated audience.
Our objective is to expand the program to all public and private schools in Ontario during our second phase, and eventually open the program to all schools in Canada. Our vision for the final phase is a fully developed forum where Canadian students from different communities will take part in a dialogue and debate on relevant current issues pertaining to their communities.
