Stratford Fair Ambassador

The Ambassador competition is a leadership program for youth. It is an opportunity that focuses on public speaking, interview skills, agriculture awareness and community involvement. Throughout the competition each contestant will interview with a panel of three judges, give a speech on a given topic and answer an impromptu question. From there, a new Ambassador is announced! For the next year the Ambassador will represent the Stratford and District Agricultural Society and the Stratford community at various events. One of these events is the Canadian National Exhibition, where they will have the chance to earn the title of CNE Ambassador of the Fairs. The Ambassador will make many friends across the province, have a chance to network with many people and build relationships with mentors, possible future employers, etc. They will gain confidence in themselves and their abilities to speak publicly throughout the year, along with confidence in their self presentation. The more the Ambassador gets involved with throughout their reign, the more they will get out of the whole experience!
