Lions Club Speaking Contest Earlier this year, the Lions Club invited students from across Ontario and Quebec to take part in its annual Lions Club International effective speaking contest. The competition is open to public and private school students from Grades 6-12. The purpose of the contest is to provide an opportunity for competitive public speaking and to stimulate self-expression and independent thinking. By participating in the program, the Lions Club provides students with an opportunity to participate in one of Canada's largest effective speaking contests held in both the English and French languages. Galiya Vendrov, a Grade 8 student from Rogers Public School in Newmarket, was inspired to write a speech in recognition of this great country.
