Mission

CYSA's mission is to provide Canadian youth with a professional public speaking competition through which they can develop communication and workforce skills demanded by Canada's competitive agriculture and agri-food industry.

Objectives

To strengthen the agriculture industry by developing future spokespersons and leaders; to inform the urban population about agricultural issues; and to provide articulate young people with:
  • an opportunity to develop public speaking skills
  • incentives to become involved with agriculture
  • a forum to express their concerns
  • recognition for their communication skills


To show our commitment to sponsors who help strengthen the industry by supporting future advocates and leaders.

To inform the urban population about agricultural issues.

On November 6th, join the young Canadians who are speaking up for agriculture!
