Welcome to the Toronto Debating Society

As members of the Toronto Debating Society, we enjoy refining our persuasive speaking skills and guests enjoy watching our lively, heated and entertaining debates on a variety of topics.

Debating will help you refine your persuasive speaking skills - a talent that will benefit other aspects of your life.

We are a non-profit public community organization. We meet at Swansea Town Hall in Bloor West Village every other Tuesday from September to May. Attendance is always free. Contact us.

We are adjourned for the summer. We will return on 11 September. Until then, view our video archives!
