The EDS is a member of the Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate (CUSID), which is a national organization which governs and represents university debating in Canada.[1]

Two debaters from the EDS, Jamie Furniss and Érik Eastaugh, won the World University Debating Championship in 2005, held at Malaysia Multimedia University.[2]

The EDS is affiliated with the Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate (CUSID) and represents the University of Ottawa at CUSID tournaments. The EDS hosts an invitational debate tournament each year, the Father Roger Guindon Cup, usually held in the early autumn. The EDS also hosts the University of Ottawa High School Debate Tournament for Ottawa-area high school students.[3][4]

The EDS is officially ranked 121st in the world by points at the 2010 WUDC.[5]
