Welcome!

We are the Queen’s Debating Union, the oldest club at Queen’s University, and the oldest debating society in Canada, dating back to 1843. We are a proud member of CUSID, the Canadian University Society for Intercollegaiate Debate.

The QDU harbours a deep competitive spirit which has brought us great competitive successes over the years, as well as a open social community.

We meet on Wednesdays and Thursdays in Jeffery Hall 234 to hold practice rounds, seminars, as well as on-campus events. In addition, we represent Queen’s University at various events around Canada and in the International debating scene. Come around, we are always ready to welcome new members!
