The University of Toronto Mississauga is home to the Ontario Ethics Bowl Championship, an annual event that brings together teams of bright and dedicated high school students from across Ontario to compete in a contest of reasoning and persuasion. Ethics Bowl matches are different from other debate formats in that teams are encouraged to develop their own position on contemporary ethical dilemmas, and to revise and refine their ideas in light of the other side’s criticisms. Ethics Bowls promote the value of informed civil discourse and encourage deep engagement with political, social, and moral viewpoints different from our own.
