The aim of the Effective Speaking (ES) program is to provide an opportunity for Air Cadets to increase their self confidence; and increase their ability to reason, organize and express ideas. ES provides an opportunity for Air Cadets to find their voice and build self-confidence through practice, instruction, and competition. Annually, top speakers at the squadron level compete at the regional competition. During the provincial competition, the top regional speakers deliver prepared speeches and most excitingly, speak off-the-cuff like pros.
