Why do alums give back to Branksome?

BRANKSOME HALL DEBATE NEEDS YOU!

On November 15th, Branksome Hall is hosting the Fulford Debate Tournament.


The Fulford debate league was founded in 1948 and is likely the oldest student debate league in Ontario. Branksome Hall was both the first girls' school to join the league, and to win the championship.


We are in need of nearly 60 judges—including alums like you!


No debate experience or expertise is needed. Lunch will be provided.
