SENIOR CANADIAN BRITISH PARLIAMENTARY CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Senior Canadian British Parliamentary Championships is the recognized British Parliamentary championship tournament for senior high school debaters. Competitors are selected by their provincial debating associations, typically through a provincial championship. The Championships serve as Canada's exclusive qualifier for the Oxford Schools Debating Competition and the Cambridge Schools Debating Competition. 

​

The tournament was founded in 2005 by Chris George of Lower Canada College, in collaboration with debate associations and schools across Canada. Originally launched as the North American Championships (NorAms), it became the Oxford Cup in 2009 to reflect its role as a qualifier for Oxford. In 2018, with expanded invitations from Cambridge and eligibility for junior high students, it was renamed the Canadian British Parliamentary Championships.
