Kanak Khare first brought home a District 21 International Speech Contest trophy in 2005, and accomplished the feat again last weekend in Nanaimo.
"It is an honour to win at the District 21 level once, but to have won it twice is almost unheard of," Dale Grieves, a Toastmaster area governor.
"This was a win-win for both Kanak and those fortunate enough to hear and watch her skills in action," said Grieves, speaking of Khare's speech that took a humourous look at a lifetime of greetings and partings and the different methods used to say hello and goodbye.
Khare was among 11 division winners from throughout the province who competed for the top prize, and she now moves on to the Toastmaster regional contest June 13 that includes the winners from B.C. and six western states. The winner of that contest will compete at the Toastmaster World Conference Aug. 16 in Calgary.
The purpose of the contests are to provide opportunities for speakers to use their Toastmasters training, improve skills and benefit from observing other speakers.
As a member of the City Centre Toastmaster Club since 1997, Khare has achieved her advanced Toastmasters bronze level by mastering several advanced speech manuals and her Competent Leader designation by completing 10 projects related to speech instruction.
