We were excited to gather in Regina for the 2025 Provincial Championship, a milestone event that marked the conclusion of a great debate season and the celebration of our 50th anniversary. SEDA began in Regina, making this year’s event even more special. Seventy debaters from across the province came to showcase their skills. Students from Saskatoon, Regina, Swift Current, Yorkton, and Melville competed in four rounds of law-themed debates. |

A huge thank you to Coach Greenman for hosting us at Luther College High School. She and her student volunteers were integral in preparing the venue and ensuring a smooth event. We would also like to thank our Tournament Coordinator, Hamza, and our Tabbing Coordinator, Sanjana, whose work made the championship, and all our events this year, organized, engaging, and fun. Finally, we cannot express enough appreciation for the volunteer judges who dedicate countless hours to fostering critical thinking and debate skills in youth. |
