Organizers of the Canadian High School Ethics Bowl
A collective of organizations and individuals who believe in the power of students working in collaboration on the most ethical challenges our society is facing organizes the Canadian High School Ethics Bowl (CHSEB). We believe strongly in this initiative’s ability to empower students and shape their identity as community members who are able and inspired to contribute to a society where everyone can thrive. Further information is available at www.ethicsbowl.ca.
After Manitoba schools participated over two years in the American High School Ethics Bowl at the University of North Carolina Parr Center for Ethics, organizations and individuals decided to organize the Canadian High School Ethics Bowl. Led by the Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties as the secretariat, the CHSEB team has endeavoured to create a uniquely Canadian event open to high school students across the country.

The Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics is a research centre at the University of Manitoba. The Centre promotes research and discussion on a wide range of ethical, social, political, and legal issues. The Centre frequently sponsors public talks and forums on topics of interest to academics, students, and the public. The Centre does not promote any particular perspective or set of views. Instead, it tries to encourage free and open debate.
Université de Saint-Boniface
Established in 1818, Université de Saint-Boniface is the first educational institution in Western Canada. Université de Saint-Boniface now attracts local, national, and international students due to the quality of its technical and professional French programs. The university is also the centre for the celebration and expansion of the French language through their innovative community relationships.
