cusid

The Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate (CUSID) is the national organization which governs and represents university debating in Canada. It sanctions several official annual tournaments and represents the interests of Canadian debating domestically and abroad. Its membership consists of student debating unions, sanctioned by their respective universities, from across Canada. Many prominent politicians, lawyers and business leaders have been former CUSID debaters, including former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen, media entrepreneur Moses Znaimer, and CBC personality Ian Hanomansing.

CUSID Tournaments

CUSID sanctions several official championship tournaments every year. These are:

Canadian National Debating Championship
Canadian National French Debating Championship
British Parliamentary Debating Championship
Central Canadian Debating Championship (Lger Cup)
Western Canadian Debating Championship (McGoun Cup)
Atlantic Canadian Debating Championship
Central and Atlantic Canadian Novice Debating Championships
North American Debating Championship (with APDA)

Presidents of CUSID

The President of CUSID is the head of the organization and leads an elected executive consisting of six national and regional officers. He or she also represents CUSID and Canadian debating interests inside and outside of Canada, and is traditionally the Canadian representative on the World Universities Debating Council. The President is elected annually by the member institutions at the National Championships.
