The Toronto Debating Society is a non-profit community organization. Membership fees defray council chamber rental fees and other organization expenses.

Members can participate to any degree that they wish. Some members just find viewing a debate to be an entertaining evening while others wish to the debate any chance possible. By learning how to debate you will be more persuasive, think on your feet, and explain complex concepts more clearly.

Members' occupations range from consultants to computer programmers to sales reps to construction supervisors.

Absolutely no public speaking or debating experience is necessary!

We hope you'll join us.
