Advisory — Chinook, LCI teams to compete in High School Ethics Bowl
In a world becoming more fractured by disagreements every day, Ethics Bowl Canada is offering a venue where disagreement is merely the beginning of discussion — not the end.
The University of Lethbridge will host Lethbridge’s inaugural High School Ethics Bowl on Saturday, March 1, a debate-oriented competition that implores teams of high school students (three to seven members) to consider difficult societal questions not only for the sake of discussion, but hopefully, to become agents of change in the world.
The inaugural event features two teams from Lethbridge Collegiate Institute and one from Chinook High School and will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., in ULethbridge’s Anderson Hall. ULethbridge undergraduate students and collegiate ethics bowl team members will participate as moderators for the event, while faculty members from the Department of Philosophy and a graduate student will act as judges.
The Lethbridge event is one of three regionals in the province with the winning team facing winners from events in Calgary and Edmonton at a provincial championship tournament later this spring. The entire program culminates with the National High School Ethics Bowl to be held at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg.
