Our upcoming meeting on November 26, 2024, will be an extraordinary event as we host our annual club contests. We’re excited to feature both a French speech contest and an English evaluation contest.
While this meeting won’t follow our typical weekly format, it promises to be an engaging and educational experience.
Let’s take a closer look at how the Evaluation Contest is expected to unfold:
- A pre-selected target speaker will deliver a prepared speech for the audience and contestants to analyze.
- Following the speech, the evaluator contestants will be given time outside the room to prepare their notes.
- Our Sergeant-at-Arms will collect these notes, returning them to each evaluator as they re-enter to present their evaluation.
- Evaluators will present their feedback in a predetermined order, offering constructive criticism to the target speaker within a specified time frame.
What makes this contest particularly fascinating for audience members is the opportunity to observe diverse evaluation styles. You’ll notice common themes among evaluators, as well as unique insights that individual contestants may highlight. This allows you to mentally compare your own observations with those presented, creating a rich learning environment through what we might call "passive participation."
Don’t miss this chance to sharpen your critical thinking and public speaking skills.
Join us for an evening of insightful evaluations and inspiring speeches!
La réunion du mardi 19 novembre 2024 s’annonce exceptionnelle pour notre club Toastmasters à Montréal. Nous aurons le plaisir d’organiser deux concours passionnants ce soir-là : un concours de discours en anglais et un concours d’évaluation en français.
Bien que le format diffère de nos réunions hebdomadaires habituelles, assister à ces concours est une expérience enrichissante.
Prenons l’exemple du concours d’évaluation de discours :
- Un orateur cible, choisi discrètement à l’avance, présentera un discours préparé. L’ensemble de l’auditoire, y compris les concurrents évaluateurs, écoutera attentivement ce discours.
- Les évaluateurs disposeront ensuite d’un bref moment, hors de la salle, pour préparer leurs notes d’évaluation.
- À leur retour, ils présenteront leurs évaluations dans un ordre tiré au sort, en s’efforçant de fournir un retour constructif à l’orateur cible tout en respectant le temps imparti.
- Pour le public, c’est l’occasion d’observer différents styles d’évaluation, de noter les points communs relevés par tous les évaluateurs, mais aussi de constater les observations uniques de chacun.
- Cette expérience nous pousse à réfléchir à notre propre analyse du discours, favorisant ainsi un apprentissage par immersion.
- Le concours de discours en anglais promet également d’être captivant, mettant en lumière les talents oratoires de nos membres dans une langue différente.
Ces concours sont une excellente opportunité pour nos membres de mettre en pratique leurs compétences, de relever de défis personnels et de progresser dans l’art de la communication.
Nous vous attendons nombreux pour encourager nos participants et vivre ensemble cette soirée inspirante !

The Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in downtown Montreal is proud to welcome a few new members.
New members Keith, Jean-Christophe, Kaya and Ndjacho being welcomed by our club president Frédéric
We customarily like to ask our new members to share with us some of the reasons that motivated them to join Toastmasters…
From Keith:
The St Lawrence Toastmasters Club is a high achieving club, which is reflected in its member’s authenticity, diligence and openness to share their experience with others. I’m here to improve my public speaking skills for a podcast that I have begun. I wish to practice creating a connection with my audience by augmenting my vocal variety and clarity to better persuade them to catch my vision.
De Jean-Christophe :
J’ai rejoint Toasmasters International afin d’améliorer ma parole; selon l’axe théorique et pratique.
Pour la première dimension, ce que proposent les Toasmasters au travers de leur programme Pathway devrait me permettre de rédiger efficacement, selon mes objectifs, des discours persuasifs; avec différentes manières de le faire. De nombreux documents pratiques sont disponibles sur le site web qui me semble fournir une matière éducative riche et construite.
Et puis, bien entendu, surtout, l’aspect pratique avec mon choix pour le club St-Lawrence Toastmasters de Montréal. Le côté bilingue, les régulières mises à jour du site web m’ont orienté vers ce club que je découvre depuis quelques semaines.
Mon choix? J’en suis ravi !
From Ndjacho:
One of my goals has always been to learn how to communicate effectively at all levels. Joining St-Lawrence Toastmasters Club is my way of fulfilling that goal.
From Kaya:
I’ve joined Toastmasters because I really value challenge and the opportunities it can present for growth. And to be able to communicate effectively, especially in large groups, can be quite challenging(!) I want to practice this skill with like-minded and supportive individuals who are open to sharing experiences and advice so we can all learn together.

Here is the programme for the meeting of October 29, 2024.
Toastmasters International is proudly celebrating its 100th anniversary this October, marking a century of empowering individuals to become confident communicators and leaders.
To commemorate this historic milestone, the members of the Saint-Lawrence Toastmasters Club in Montreal enjoyed a delicious cake, reflecting on the rich legacy of Toastmasters since its first meeting on October 22, 1924. (Coincidentally, because our club meets every Tuesday evening, we therefore had the opportunity to celebrate on the exact 100th anniversary date of October 22, 2024!)
This celebration not only honored our past but also inspired us to continue fostering growth and connection within our community as we look forward to the next century of Toastmasters!
