The Concours d’art oratoire (French public speaking competition) is a long-standing CPF tradition in the North Vancouver school district.
Each year French Immersion (FI), Late French Immersion (LFI) and Francophone students from across North Vancouver participate in the North Vancouver School District Concours d’art oratoire final. Winners from the district competition then go on to compete with students from across BC in the Provincial Concours d’art oratoire. Provincial winners have the opportunity to go on to travel to the National Concours to compete for a $20,000 scholarship to the University of Ottawa, and other prizes such as books, medals, merchandise, cash and more!
