CU Debating Society: Dorchester Cup: Important Notice
by cuds＠lists.ncf.ca
If you are helping out at the Dorchester Cup, March 5-7, please be
advised that there will be a judging seminar this Wednesday (Feb. 25) to
train all volunteers and explain our judging policies. Carleton
alumnist and Dorchester Chief Adjudicator, Allen Middlebro, will be
giving the seminar.
The seminar will take place during our regular meeting at 5:30pm in 411
Southam Hall. Attendance will be taken and judges who show up will get
to judge better rounds during the tournament than those who don't. If
you cannot make it, Mike Powell will be giving a makeup seminar during
the Friday meeting at 2:30pm in 411 Southam Hall. If you cannot make
that meeting either, please let us know ASAP at
dorchester(a)carletondebate.org.
If you have not signed up to volunteer, or have not confirmed your
attendance at the tournament, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator,
Marion Sandilands, at treblenoi(a)hotmail.com. With the number of teams
coming, our resources will be strained and we could use all the help we
can get.
Thanks for your time.

Ontario Youth Parliament
The Ontario Youth Parliament (OYP) is a non-partisan, interdenominational forum run for youth, age 15 to 21. It is a chance for 120 to 150 delegates from all over Ontario to come together in a mock parliamentary setting to debate important current issues. The issues are discussed in the form of debate on legislation written as if to be presented in the provincial legislature. In addition to providing a forum for debate, OYP also gives youth an excellent opportunity to meet other intelligent people from around the province. As a part of the weekend's activities, participants help raise money for local charity, attend a banquet, a dance, and discuss the theme of the weekend as it relates to them and their lives. The OYP will take place on the weekend of March 12th to 15th in Ottawa. For more information, visit www.oyp.on.ca . Registration forms will be mailed out to anyone that is interested.
