Oui, she won
Surrey’s Vicky Yi Qing Liu was among the winning students at the Canadian Parents for French (CPF) National Concours d’art oratoire 2013, held on May 25 at the University of Ottawa.
The Concours d’art oratoire program draws students from across Canada in the competition that offers more than $180,000 in scholarships to the University of Ottawa and up to $5,000 in scholarships to Ottawa’s La Cité collégiale.
This year, 38 national finalists in five different categories were welcomed to the nation’s capital for a two-day city tour after winning their provincial or territorial championships.
The five categories that students compete in are based on linguistic ability, and range from Level 1 (Core French) to Level 5 (Francophone).
Liu came in third in Level 2 (Core French Extended) and received a $2,000 bursary.
