Karl Subban Speaking Testimonials

We were thrilled to have Karl join us at our Annual General Meeting as our opening speaker. Karl brought with him not just his experience as the father of three NHL players and two other very successful and accomplished children, but that of an educator. His message of the importance of leadership and perseverance struck a chord with all of us. Delivered with great stories, and a great sense of humour (and in the middle of a power outage) Karl was a big hit with our members. We could not have asked for a better way to start our AGM.

Cathy Abraham
