The Debate and Speech Association of British Columbia is an umbrella organization committed to promoting, hosting, and regulating debate and public speaking in schools throughout British Columbia. We are a non-profit, volunteer-led organization which works in association with the Canadian Student Debating Federation to engage BC students in public speaking and debating opportunities across BC, Canada, and Abroad. Students interested in debate or public speaking are encouraged to join their school's debate team and register to participate in the tournaments which can be found on our calendar. If your school does not yet have a team, the DSABC can provide resources on how to start one!
