An annual public speaking contest is organized among the local English-speaking high schools and held in late April/ early May at Bandeen Hall of Bishop’s University. Schools include Bishop’s College School, Massey Vanier Regional High School, Richmond Regional High School and Stanstead College. All participants receive a certificate and the winners and runners-up at both the junior and senior levels receive a plaque. Speeches are aired on CBC Radio.
