Topic: 2014 Effective Speaking competition
Our National Effective Speaking competition was held last June in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
during the Air Cadet League of Canada 72th annual general meeting. The twelve competitor’s performance
was amazing. Once again, the Quebec and Ottawa Valley was well represented.
You will find enclosed the topics for the prepared speech and the specifics guidelines for the 2014 Provincial
competition.
The Effective Speaking competition is open to all cadets. This is an experience that will benefit them on a
personal and professional point of view. This is a unique occasion where they can improve their speaking
skills, use their imagination and talent. Invite them to take advantage of this opportunity!
This year again, Laval University is offering, to the competition recipient, a 2000$ studies bursary applicable
on future studies.
New this year, the St. Paul University in Ottawa joins us in offering a bursary (tuition for one (1) year two
sessions, maximum value $ 2.277 each session.
These bursaries will be awarded to candidates who will be awarded the first two positions at the provincial
competition. To qualify for these bursaries, applicants must be at least a Sec IV grade student in school year
2013-14. If candidates do not meet this criterion, the bursary will be awarded to the next candidate on the list
who qualifies. In addition, each university donated twelve prices to be drawn. Meaning, two backpacks will be
randomly drawn among all participants, local and regional levels in all regions of Quebec.
It is essential to complete the registration forms available on the League website and send it to the
Coordinator of your respective region to be eligible for the draw. See below.
We wish you the best of luck for the competitions and encourage you to motivate the cadets to participate in
large numbers.
