About the McLeese Chair

Endowed by Willis McLeese, the Chair has a concise mandate: Get more young people across Canada involved in debating. 

Based at Upper Canada College in Toronto and working with the Canadian Student Debating Federation, the McLeese Chair is charged with finding opportunities to teach youth the art of argument.

If students are given the skills and confidence to speak publicly and advocate positions, it will serve them well later in life.  This is practical education at its best, and it is the vision that led Willis McLeese to create this program.
