In 2010/2011, ADSA spent over
$50,000 sending students to out-of-province debate and speech events.

Participation in the ADSA program allows students to compete in debate and
speech activities locally, provincially, nationally, and internationally.

The Friends of Alberta Debate
and Speech Association (FADSA) is a new non-profit organization created to
encourage community support for debate and speech throughout Alberta.
Its purpose is to engage with all members of the Albertan community who
support debate and speech, whether or not they are directly involved.
Through a growing membership base, FADSA provides a link for past
participants, coaches, and judges to stay involved with current debate and
speech activities. |
Schools join the association for one year for a fee of $ 150.00. In return, they can particpate and vote in general meetings, elect the board, and receive educational materials throughout the year. While most members are actively involved in the competitive tournament program, many schools join solely for access to materials which they integrate into their classroom curriculum.
