Congratulations to the new British Parliamentary National Champions, Richard Lizius and Ian Freeman. Representing the University of Toronto’s Hart House Debating Club, they prevailed over the Osgoode Hall team of Brent Kettles and Rudi M. Lof, the Hart House team of Monica Ferris and Lisa Jorgensen, and Vinay Kumar Mysore and Sophie MacIntyre from the McGill Debating Union. The championship round was chaired by Peter Milliken, and followed a delicious brunch.
The tournament also recognized Richard Lizius as the best speaker, McGill’s Sean Husband as the best novice speaker, and Seans Stefanik and Hayward, both also from McGill, as the joint best public speaker. Finally, McGill’s Calvin Rosemond and Joe Bricker were named Novice Champions at the tournament.
Many thanks to Queen’s University, fabulous hosts once more.
