Every year the Effective Speaking (ES) program provides opportunity for Air Cadets to find their voice and build self-confidence through practice, instruction, and competition. Any cadet member of the squadron is eligible to participate in classes learning about the ES fundamentals. Speeches must be original, and no props or visual aids are allowed. Cadets are required to prepare a five to six minute speech from a list of provided topics and a two three-minute impromptu speech.
Cadets have the opportunity to showcase their skills and compete at the Squadron level, with one or two of the top speakers participating in the Regional Competition. The winner of the Regional Competition goes to the Provincial Competition, with the winner of that competition going to Nationals.
