Keynote: Warren Macdonald
One catastrophic moment redefined Warren’s life in April 1997 with a freak rock fall on a remote Australian island that left him pinned under a one-ton boulder. For two days he lay trapped and alone, surviving the ordeal only to lose both legs at mid-thigh.
Doctors told him he’d never walk again. Warren’s response: “I don’t recall them saying anything about cycling, kayaking, or climbing mountains…” Just ten months later he scaled Cradle Mountain, and in February 2003 Warren became the first double above-knee amputee to reach the summit of Africa’s tallest peak, Mt Kilimanjaro.
Born in Melbourne, Australia; Warren now lives in Canmore, Alberta in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. His story is fascinating, and his message is profound.

CPA Social Event of the Season
Join us for great food and entertainment at the CPA’s Premier Social Event of the season.
6:30 pm • Cocktails • Riverview Lounge
7:15 pm • Dinner • Cascade Ballroom
Featured Entertainers:
Opinions & Points of View, Rex Murphy
The Heebee Jeebees a Capella
Rex Murphy
Social Commentator, Editorialist & Distinct Canadian Voice
The one and only Rex Murphy is a trusted face and voice across Canadian media. His intellect and biting humour strike through the heart of profound political and social issues. Currently he writes and reports for CBC’s The National and is a columnist in the National Post.
Scheduled to appear at the CPA’s 2015 conference in Vancouver, Rex was pulled away from us to tend to the last Federal election – inconveniently scheduled over our event dates. Rex will join us in Banff, so expect to be simultaneously informed and entertained by his provocative commentary. He knows what makes Canadians tick, and what drives our political and social affairs. Rex makes us important, reminds us we have culture beyond hockey. His thought-provoking, sometimes stinging commentary and original insights are delivered through a vocabulary to make Webster’s consider updating.
A Rhodes Scholar, Rex was born and raised in St. John’s, Nfld., where he graduated from Memorial University. In 1968, he went to Oxford University, along with former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Rex later ran twice in provincial elections and lost both times. Maybe he was too honest?
We’ve got the Heebee-jeebees!
The Heebee-jeebees are four Canadian guys who started a band to meet girls.
This Calgary-based comic a cappella group have performed about a gazillion gigs for fans, families, corporations and charities since 1993. They have won three CARA Awards (the Grammys of a cappella), produced eight CDs (available worldwide on iTunes or out of the trunk of their van) and were honoured as the first inductees into the Canadian A Cappella Hall of Fame.
These guys are seriously serious about not taking themselves too seriously.
The Heebee-jeebees are… the most fun you’ve ever heard!
