This year our event will feature an inspirational presentation by our special guest Cory B. Johnson!

CORY B. JOHNSON
Cory B. Johnson is one of the most uniquely inspiring speakers you may ever see. Born with Cerebral Palsy and suffering a debilitating stroke at age 11, Cory has learned to engage humour and patience to conquer almost any obstacle.
Able to build a successful career as a leadership counselor, investment banker, inventor of innovative products for the disabled, and now as a professional speaker and standup comic, Cory inspires audiences to find their own paths to success.
Cory's presentation is the embodiment of honesty with a healthy dose of fun. Regardless of age, abilities or social stature, Cory helps us all see how we can look at our limitations, and turn "disabilities into possibilities." He encourages his audiences to see new possibilities within themselves and others. With his own perception on life, he'll challenge you to remove some of your own barriers.
